Abstract

In this essay I propose an analysis of the increasing pressure of new technologies on content production, illustrating perspectives and paradigm shifts in scholarly research, analysing some applied research scenarios on digitised sources that consider the archive not merely as a “catalogue”, but as a “generative space”. In particular, I will focus on the computational visual analysis of audiovisual sources in the performative domain. To this purpose, I will expose the first results obtained from the case study still under development AI - Macbeth Horror Suite by Carmelo Bene, which sees the experimentation of the use of Artificial Intelligence in the analysis of audiovisual sources of the Performing Arts, within the research activities that I coordinate as P.I. of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Laboratory for Digital Humanities at the LABS - Audiovisual Laboratory of the Performing Arts (SARAS, Sapienza University of Rome).
