Vision for Art and Culture (VISART) VIII
http://visarts.eu

8th Workshop on Computer VISion for ART
In conjunction with the 2026 European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV),
Malmö, Sweden

IMPORTANT DATES

Full & Extended Abstract Paper Submission: June 24th 2026
Notification of Acceptance: August 5th 2026
Camera-Ready Paper Due: August 15th 2026
Workshop: September 8th/9th 2026

Following the success of previous editions of the Workshop on VISion for
ART (2012, ’14, ’16, ’18, ’20, ’22, ’24), we present VISART VIII. VISART
continues as a forum for the presentation and publication of Computer
Vision techniques for the understanding of art and culture. The growth of
generative art, large-scale digitisation, and digitally born artworks
underscores the importance of research at the intersection of Computer
Vision and Art. This includes methods for reasoning about visual material,
connecting vision and language, and structuring data across art and
cultural heritage.

As with the prior edition, VISART VIII offers two tracks:

1. Computer Vision for Art & Culture - technical work (standard ECCV
submission, 14 page excluding references, appearing in proceedings)

2. Uses and Reflection of Computer Vision for Art (Extended abstract, 4
page, excluding references, NOT appearing in proceedings)

The recent explosion in the digitisation of artworks highlights the
concrete importance of application in the overlap between CV and art; such
as the automatic indexing of databases of paintings and drawings, or
automatic tools for the analysis of cultural heritage. Such an encounter,
however, also opens the door both to a wider computational understanding of
the image beyond photo-geometry, and to a deeper critical engagement with
how images are mediated, understood or produced by CV techniques in the
`Age of Image-Machines' (T. J. Clark). Submissions to our first track
should primarily consist of technical papers, our second track, therefore,
encourages critical essays or extended abstracts from art historians,
artists, cultural historians, media theorists and computer scientists.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers in
the fields of computer vision and the digital humanities with art and
cultural historians and artists, to promote interdisciplinary
collaborations, and to expose the hybrid community to cutting-edge
techniques and open problems on both sides of this fascinating area of
study.

This workshop in conjunction with ECCV 2026, calls for high-quality,
previously unpublished, works. Submissions for both tracks should conform
to the ECCV 2026 proceedings style and will be double-blind peer-reviewed
by at least three reviewers. However, extended abstracts will not appear in
the conference proceedings. Papers must be submitted online through the
OpenReview submission system at:
https://openreview.net/group?id=thecvf.com/ECCV/2026/Workshop/VISART#tab-your-
consoles
