Kim Henry Veltman (born 5 September 1948) is a Dutch/Canadian historian of science, director of Virtual Maastricht McLuhan Institute (VMMI), consultant and author, known for his contributions in the fields of "linear perspective and the visual dimensions of science and art,"[1] new media, culture and society.[2]

Biography

Born in Workum in Friesland, Veltman emigrated with his family in 1951, where he obtained the Canadian nationality. Veltman obtained his BA in history at the York University in Toronto in 1969, where in 1970 he also obtained his MA in renaissance history. In 1975 he received his PhD in history and philosophy of science at the Warburg Institute in London, where he had received education from B.A.R. Carter, Alistair Cameron Crombie, Ernst Gombrich, A.I. Sabra, and Charles B. Schmitt.[3]

After his graduation and some years in research and in industry as post-doctoral fellow, he started as Assistant Professor and Canada Research Fellow at the University of Toronto in 1984. From 1990 to 1995 he was director of the Perspective Unit of the McLuhan Program at the Faculty of Education of the University of Toronto. In 1998 he moved to Maastricht, where he became director of Maastricht McLuhan Institute. Since 2006 he is Scientific Director of the Virtual Maastricht McLuhan Institute. Over the years he has been Visiting Professor at the University of Göttingen in 1983–84; at the University of Siena in 1990; at the Sapienza University of Rome in 1992; at the Università di Roma II in 1995; and at the Carleton University in 1994–96.[3]

Work

Studies on Leonardo da Vinci I, 1986

In his 1986 book "Studies on Leonardo da Vinci I: Linear Perspective and the Visual Dimensions of Science and Art," Veltman gave a new evaluation of the work of Leonardo da Vinci by focussing upon "Leonardo's visual as opposed to his verbal statements."[4]

Virtual Maastricht McLuhan Institute

The Virtual Maastricht McLuhan Institute VMMI is an institute for new media, named after Marshall McLuhan. The institute was founded in 1998 as Maastricht McLuhan Institute,[5] and renamed to 2004.

The institute explores the "historical effects of new media on the trivium (grammar, logic and rhetoric) and the quadrivium (geometry, astronomy, arithmetic and music) - or the arts and sciences - and implications for those effects on knowledge and culture then and today. VMMI proposes to continue these explorations, with a new focus: Knowledge Organization and Cultural Computing."[6]
