This paper reports on a novel application of computer vision and image processing technologies to an interdisciplinary project in architectural history that seeks to help identify and visualize differences between homologous buildings constructed to a common template design. By identifying the mutations in homologous buildings, we assist humanists in giving voice to the contributions of the myriad additional "authors" for these buildings beyond their primary designers. We develop a framework for comparing 3D point cloud representations of homologous buildings captured using lidar: focusing on identifying similarities and differences, both among 3D scans of different buildings and between the 3D scans and the design specifications of architectural drawings. The framework addresses global and local alignment for highlighting gross differences as well as differences in individual structural elements and provides methods for readily highlighting the differences via suitable visualizations. The framework is demonstrated on pairs of homologous buildings selected from the Canadian and Ottoman rail networks. Results demonstrate the utility of the framework confirming differences already apparent to the humanist researchers and also revealing new differences that were not previously observed.

On the occasion of Marcel Broodthaers's first retrospective in New York at the Museum of Modern Art and forty years after his death in 1976, October presents a roundtable discussion on the Belgian artist's career and legacy. Exhibition curators Christophe Cherix and Manuel Borja-Villel join Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Rachel Haidu, Rosalind Krauss, and Trevor Stark for a conversation on Broodthaers's work, his artistic development, and his reception. Topics include the indeterminacy between language and visuality;the status of film in his work;his meditations on the commodity, the art market, and the historical role of cultural institutions;his ambivalent relationship with Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art;and national identity and decolonization.

Recent philosophical tendencies of Actor-Network Theory, Object-Oriented Ontology, and Speculative Realism have profoundly challenged the centrality of subjectivity in the humanities, and many artists and curators, particularly in the UK, Germany, and the United States, appear deeply influenced by this shift from epistemology to ontology. October editors asked artists, historians, and philosophers invested in these projectsfrom Graham Harman and Alexander R. Galloway to Armen Avanessian and Patricia Falguieres to Ed Atkins and Amie Siegelto explore what the rewards and risks of assigning agency to objects may be, and how, or if, such new materialisms can be productive for making and thinking about art today.
