RESEARCH IN PROGRESS Computing �Computer-Assisted Visual Inspection (of Chinese Paintings)�. In conjunction with Brown Scholarly Technology Group, development of procedures and standards for visual analysis of pre-modern Chinese paintings. Three goals: advanced scholarly research tools, pedagogical applications (graduate and undergraduate), documentation and publication. The scholarly demonstration project is: �Making the Chinese Cultural Heritage at the Courts of the Northern Song,� in which works attributed to periods ranging from the 5th to the 10th centuries are subjected to manipulations of scale and orientation, and isolation of form-types, stroke types and self-documentation, through uniform actions that are controlled carefully to maximize visual truthfulness, and are shown to be contemporary products, probably made during the 12th century. Documentation in progress. Fieldwork: Beijing 2005. This project was the focus of my 2005-06 Leave and continues as my primary research mode during my 2009-2010 leave. Supported by Clark Art Institute Fellowship and Brown President�s Venture Fund, Wendy J. Strothman Faculty Research Award, STG Faculty Research Grant, Humanities Research Fund. Books �MAKING THE CHINESE CULTURAL HERITAGE AT THE COURTS OF THE SONG DYNASTY (960-1279)� This project began as the scholarly component of my �Computer-Assisted Visual Inspection (of Chinese Painting)� project (see immediately above, where work to date and funding sources are cited). I have developed it through read conference papers and articles in progress, and now am preparing to further develop my research into a book. In my work to date I have used visual argumentation and textual evidence to demonstrate my proposition that the paintings that populate the traditional and modern history of the early great painters of China actually are 12th�century creations that were commissioned by the Song Dynasty emperors in order to create an continuous material history of the Chinese cultural heritage. Through Sinological research I have proposed means of transmission and production of such images at the Song court. Currently I am preparing articles for specialist and general scholarly publications (see below). In the next �book � phase of my project, I focus on these anonymous 12th-century place-holders for lost early paintings � repositioning them in their original context as Song-Dynasty engagements with China�s visual past, tracing their subsequent transmission and influence in later Imperial China, and the consequences for the history of Chinese painting as it is understood today.
