3D Digitization for Research, Education, and Creativity
(2018-09-28) Gniady, Tassie; Rogers, Jeff
3D printing is one of the hottest sectors in technology. It enables users to fabricate personal and scientific objects like never before. But before fabricating, users must create a 3D model built digitally using 3D CAD or acquired from the real world using 3D scanning, photogrammetry or drones. We have been working with 3D models and supporting advanced research in this area for more than a decade-- well before 3D printers were mainstream. This session will detail the equipment and workflows available to the IU community to enable 3D scanning and printing. In this session we will explore photogrammetry as it relates to the creation of 3D models of real world objects.
3D Photogrammetry
(2018-04-06) Gniady, Tassie
In this session we will explore photogrammetry as it relates to the creation of 3D models of real world objects. Using many pictures taken from all around an object, photogrammetry software stitches them into a 3D surface. This introductory workshop will introduce the basics of good photography used in photogrammetric capture and stitching.
Beginning Text Analysis with R
(Indiana University Workshop in Methods, 2016-04-29) Gniady, Tassie
R is an open source language for statistical programming and graphics. With libraries oriented towards text mining, and one even called twitteR, using R to analyze social and humanities data has gotten easier than ever. This workshop will introduce some basics of R and guide you through a scaffolded approach to learning R that includes written tutorials, online web apps, dynamic notebooks, and downloadable code. In this session we will generate basic word clouds and cluster dendrograms.
Broadside Love: A Comparison of Reading with Digital Tools versus Deep Knowledge in the Ballads of Samuel Pepys
(Iter and the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2014) Gniady, Tassie
This essay explores the ways in which one portion of the ballads, those having to do with Love Pleasant (a category Pepys created and which was the largest in his collection), deal with the notion of love as typified in cheap print. This comparative analysis is done through the use of digital tools and slow/deep reading. I explore what digital textual analysis brings to the table when dealing with a large, but pre-selected, dataset in which the elements should share many common elements; how false data can be identified and winnowed out if one is just beginning work on broadside ballads; and, finally, what is the best way to interleave digital tools with slow reading.
Choosing a Digital Method: Making Digital Objects
(2017-09-21) Craig, Kalani L.; Gniady, Tassie
From installations overlaid on the world around us to reprints of otherwise inaccessible archaeological finds that we can handle at will, digital objects help us interact with and understand the world differently. This workshop will walk through a wide variety of digital-making methods, from the 3D scanning of real world objects to laser cut mixed-media structures, and offer a clear view of the analog skills that underpin these digital approaches. We'll use your research question or object as the entry point to make sense of the world of digital making and rendering, and we’ll also send you home with an activity that will help you bring digital making into your classroom. This presentation was part of a series of workshops offered by the Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities called Choosing a Digital Method.
Combinatorics with Statues
(Indiana University, 2015-03-23) Gniady, Tassie
A presentation on the possible arrangements of the Niobids at Hadrian's Villa. Using combinatorics, the suite of possibilities was narrowed by 457 logarithmic factors.
Creating Computational Interfaces
(2018-03-20) Michael, Scott; Gniady, Tassie
This workshop will focus on Jupyter/Zeppelin notebooks and Shiny R interfaces, and how to develop and where to run them.
Data Mining for Humanists
(2018-08-30) Craig, Kalani L.; Dalmau, Michelle; Gniady, Tassie
From the open, largely unstructured text of the novel, to the structured world of social-network entries, to the automated comparison of photographs on a pixel-by-pixel basis, data mining has a broad set of applications for arts & humanities folks. We'll use your research question or object as the entry point to make sense of the world of data mining and send you home with an activity you can adapt and use to introduce your students to data mining in your discipline.
Digitally Charge Your Dissertation!
(Indiana University, 2015-05-04) Gniady, Tassie
This presentation was part of the "Supercharge Your Disseration!" workshop given by the IUB Libraries. In it, graduate students were given five different digital entry points that could help add digital content to their scholarship.
Intro to Digital Humanities
(2018-01-12) Gniady, Tassie
At IU, Digital Humanities work takes place across a broad spectrum of intersecting initiatives. This session will introduce *what* digital humanities is and how it can enhance your teaching and research. In addition, you will be introduced to projects, teaching institutes, and contacts in the digital humanities at IU.

Intro to R for Humanists
(2017-09-15) Gniady, Tassie
This session will provide a broad overview of R, the open source programming language that many humanists are using to analyze different datasets from literary corpora to Twitter feeds. R makes use of libraries written for text mining, connecting to twitter, and creating visualizations like word clouds. Come see all that R has to offer the humanities and get a preview of the hands-on sessions to come.

Introduction to Digital Methods: An Overview of Digital Arts and Humanities
(2018-08-24) Craig, Kalani L.; Dalmau, Michelle; Gniady, Tassie
Digital image manipulation, social network analysis, and data mining can change our perceptions of the world around us, but they also require careful, critical use. This presentation will take arts & humanities practitioners through mapping, data mining, network analysis, data visualization, 3D rendering, computationally aided vision, and other digital methods in a variety of disciplines and tackle some of the critical issues for digital arts and humanities practitioners.

IQ-Wall: An Open Standard for Tiled Video Walls that Balances Flexibility, Usability, Performance, and Cost
(2016-06-29) Boyles, Michael; Gniady, Tassie; Wernert, Eric; Eller, Chris; Reagan, David; Rogers, Jeff
Tiled video walls are engaging, useful, and pervasive in our everyday environment. They can be especially attractive to higher education institutions looking to spur innovation in teaching, research, and collaboration. However, if not thoughtfully designed, video walls can be expensive, difficult to maintain, and provide only limited functionality. Indiana University has been working with video walls for more than 10 years, using them in a variety of settings to support faculty, staff, and students in a broad range of research, education, community engagement, and creative activities. This experience has led to the development of an open hardware and software standard for video walls that provides flexibility, usability, maintainability, and the lowest possible costs while still maintaining good performance and high visual quality. In this paper, we share the motivations and technical details behind this open standard, as well as the lessons learned in b uilding and supporting tiled video walls as multi-purpose displays.

(Indiana University, 2015-02-20) Gniady, Tassie; Hooper, Wally
This presentation goes over both the broad suite of tools and knowledge available to humanists who want to interface with IT at Indiana University.
Omeka S and 3D Collections
(2018-04-27) Gniady, Tassie; Cowan, Will
Omeka S is a next-generation web publishing platform for institutions interested in connecting digital cultural heritage collections with other resources online. It allows for open linked data and for many sites to live under one installation. In this talk, we will explain the extended capabilities of Omeka S and take a tour of example sites populated with 3D models.
