The Media Center accompanied a Getty-funded research project to Sardinia, Italy in coordination with Prof. Michael Cole's Spanish Italy & the Iberian Americas project. In addition to documenting sites of 15th-18th century Spanish influence, Media Center staff also visited the ancient city of Tharros, and documented objects related to the archeological site of Mont’e Prama. Photographic documentation was also conducted on sites related to August Sander’s 1927 trip to Sardinia, such as Porto Torres and Aritzo.

Under the guidance of Frédérique Baumgartner, the Media Center works with student curators in the MA in Art History program to develop content and build an exhibition website.

Designed as an online resource for the three-part exhibition Robert Moses and the Modern City, this website includes an interactive map of the works of Robert Moses in New York City, an extensive collection of photographs, and text on each exhibition.

The Media Center has crafted a highly detailed, born-digital 3D model of the Villa Savoye which serves as a platform for several modes of exploration. The building can be viewed as an illustration of Le Corbusier’s Five Points of Architecture with animations to demonstrate each element in context, making the digital tool an expression of those principles. Predefined itineraries move the viewer through the rooms of the Villa to replicate the flow of space experienced in-person. Additionally, the Villa can be rendered at various periods in its history to examine the differing paint colors over the span of its use and restorations.
