I wanted to share this thought with you.

What do you think – especially in the context of visualizing museum and collection data?
Does something like this already exist? What’s considered best practice? Who’s working on this?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

This means: real-time visualization of image similarity becomes feasible, especially for interfaces or dashboards that display clustered search results or artwork collections.

Think search results as semantic maps instead of grids.

In case you're wondering about this thread:
I'm currently researching additional resources to complement my book Cultural Data Science: An Introduction to R.
They’ll also be listed on my website alongside the publication:

And another hint on my little project:
Museums Open Data – a searchable interface to explore open datasets from museums around the world.
Built to support digital research in the arts.

An old favourite of mine:
X Degrees of Separation by Google Arts & Culture explores unexpected visual connections between artworks using image similarity algorithms.
Still a fascinating experiment in computational curation.

And what about this:
Mapping Paintings visualizes the provenance of artworks across time and space. A compelling example of how art history and digital mapping come together.

I'm sure you already know it — but if not: it's great! ;)

The newly established Anders Sandrew Chair in Digital Art History at Uppsala University will be hosted by the Department of Art History.
Digital Art History combines art, architecture, film, and design with digital tools to visualize and interpret culture. It redefines how we engage with visual heritage in the digital age.
