PARIS, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Since 1873, the CIHA (Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art) congress has taken place every four years, like the “Art History Olympiad”. The only global event in this field, it allows researchers and professionals from the world of art and heritage to come together to exchange and debate current issues. This will be a major event for France in 2024, ranking among the most important events of the year such as the Paris Olympics.

This year, the French Committee for the History of Art (CFHA) was chosen to organize it. The International Congress of Art History will be held at the Convention Center of the Cité Internationale de Lyon from June 23 to 28, 2024:  https://www.cihalyon2024.fr/en/

thierry Ehrmann, President of Artmarket.com and Founder of Artprice: “It is clear that Artprice’s sponsorship of this global event, which will be pivotal for France and its international cultural policy, is significant. With over 50 countries and 1000 speakers participating, particularly in this Olympic Games year of 2024, the event holds immense importance. This exceptional event focusing on the History of Art, held once every four years, underscores France’s resurgence, as it reclaims, according to Artprice, its position as the leading European hub in the Art Market.” 

The theme chosen for the 36th edition is “Matter Materiality”. This theme concerns all artistic productions from all periods of art history. Their materiality poses problems of perception, conservation, or reproduction.

This theme allows us to question the effects of dematerialization due to digital technology, but also the material dimension of digital technology such as the techniques of rematerialization or perception of materiality. It explores very current questions, in full evolution, and in line with major societal, ecological, and ethical challenges.

The congress will address many techniques and categories of material objects, from painting to print, from architectural techniques to the use of waste, from the human body to clothing, and more, as detailed in the online program ( in progress):  https://openagenda.com/en/ciha-2024

Olivier Bonfait, President of the French Committee for Art History (CFHA), organizer of CIHA 2024: “Coming to this international congress in Lyon means participating in a great celebration of knowledge in Art History, being present at one of those events that (almost) never happen. The last CIHA congress in France took place in… 1989. We are working intensively to make this exceptional event a success. And Artprice’s sponsorship carries its full meaning in this edition.”

Nearly 1,000 participants from more than 50 countries will speak during the congress. There will be a program of plenary conferences with the greatest specialists and world-renowned artists where they will talk about their approach to the subject. Artprice and the Organe Museum of Contemporary Art will participate in workshops in the form of collaborative knowledge-sharing sessions. In the evening, discussions will continue during events organized with partner museums and foundations.

A special evening will be organized at the world headquarters of Artprice by Artmarket, in the heart of the Organe Museum of Contemporary Art managing La Demeure du Chaos / Abode of Chaos (dixit The New York Times), including a visit to its unique in the world historical documentary collection dating from 1700 to the present day. In addition, a meeting will be scheduled between the CIHA researchers, Artprice department experts and its founding President.

Visits to Lyon’s heritage sites and the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region will also be offered on the final day of the congress, Friday, June 28, 2024. Throughout the event, an Art Book Fair will offer the opportunity to meet authors, and French and international publishers, where Artprice by Artmarket will be present.

The congress is supported by a prestigious honorary committee chaired by Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Orhan Pamuk. It is also placed under the patronage of the French government and benefits from the support of municipal and regional stakeholders.

The organizers paid particular attention to ensuring that all participants could come to Lyon from all over the world, whatever the difficulties linked to their economic or geopolitical context. Grants were awarded by foundations and patrons: Gerda Henkel Stiftung (Düsseldorf), Deutsches Forum Für Kunstgeschichte (Paris), Fundación Proa (Buenos Aires), Getty Foundation (Los Angeles), Fondation Tiqitaq (France), Italian Cultural Institute de Lyon, Samuel H. Kress Foundation (New York), Wu Zuoren International Foundation of Fine Arts (Beijing). Despite this generous support, needs are not yet fully covered.

The event is being sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Minister Rachida Dati, the Ministry of Europe & Foreign Affairs and Minister Stéphane Séjourné, the Ministry of Higher Education & Research and Minister Sylvie Retailleau. It also has the support of major institutions: the National Center for Scientific Research, the National Institute of Art History, the École du Louvre, the University Lumière Lyon 2, the École Nationale Supérieure de Lyon and the University of Grenoble Alpes.

Standalone solution available via CLO-SET brings fast and accurate cutting-edge fabric digitization technology to brands, vendors, fabric mills and supply chain partners worldwide

NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CLO Virtual Fashion today announced the availability of the CLO zFab Kit, a revolutionary AI-powered fabric digitization solution, now available for order and shipping to customers worldwide. The biggest news for the industry: the CLO zFab Kit can operate as a standalone solution without needing access to the CLO software to operate. Brands, vendors, fabric mills, fabric agents, and supply chain partners can digitize fabrics with full accuracy and produce ready-to-use digital materials via the web using CLOFAB via CLO-SET; a CLO software license is not needed.

“We’ve been eager to come up with ways to address some of the pain points of fabric digitization that our users and clients were going through. Quality was inconsistent, devices were slow and difficult to operate, pricey and often locked behind specialist workflows,” said Justin Kim, 3D Design & Implementation at CLO. “The CLO zFab Kit closes the gap. And by making it truly standalone via the web on CLO-SET, we’re putting accurate digital fabric in reach of the entire supply chain, not just the design teams already using CLO.”

What the CLO zFab Kit Delivers

The CLO zFab Kit combines three pieces of purpose-built hardware (zFab Cutter, zFab Scanner and zFab Draper) with CLO’s AI-powered software to capture a fabric’s physical and visual properties from a single circular sample. The output is a high-fidelity digital fabric, including PBR maps and physical property data, ready to drop into any workflow.

Three things set it apart:

Superior Accuracy. Replaces error-prone manual measurement with a streamlined cutting, scanning and analysis system, producing digital fabrics that can effectively drive production decisions.AI-driven Automation. Powered by proprietary AI and trained on CLO and swatchbook’s extensive fabric dataset, the CLO zFab Kit speeds up digitization while keeping results consistent across operators and locations.Seamless Integration. Outputs work natively in CLO’s platform and export cleanly to other 3D environments – no rework, no format gymnastics.

 

Built for the Fashion Supply Chain

While the CLO zFab Kit perfectly complements design teams using the CLO software, it was purposefully built with fabric mills, vendors, sourcing teams, and material libraries in mind. By providing suppliers with the best tools to create high-quality digital fabrics quickly, easily and consistently, the CLO zFab Kit can help cut physical sample shipments, shortens material approval cycles, and gives everyone in the workflow chain cleaner and better data to decide and act with more confidence.

The CLO zFab Kit is available globally for ordering today. It does not require CLO licenses to operate and use. Pricing, configuration, demo requests, and how-to-use tutorials are available at zfabkit.clo3d.com

Arcfra Releases Neutree 1.1 to Help Enterprises Optimize GPU Utilization and Govern AI Inference at Scale

Published

By

SINGAPORE, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Arcfra today announced the release of Neutree 1.1, a Model-as-a-Service platform for enterprise AI inference. The new version adds native GPU virtualization and expanded model governance capabilities, helping enterprises improve GPU utilization while managing model usage, quotas, access control, and security audits across AI applications.

As enterprise AI moves from pilots to production, organizations are running more diverse model workloads, including LLMs, OCR, ASR, embedding, rerank, and other task-specific models. GPU passthrough remains important for high-performance LLM inference, but lightweight and high-concurrency small models can leave GPU memory and compute capacity underused when each workload occupies a full GPU.

Neutree 1.1 adds native vGPU support on top of existing GPU passthrough and logical isolation capabilities. Users can enable GPU virtualization as needed and split GPU resources by memory and compute capacity, allowing one GPU to run multiple model instances for workloads such as OCR, speech, embedding, rerank, and multi-service concurrent inference. For performance-sensitive LLM workloads, users can continue using GPU passthrough to access full-card resources.

The release also provides a global view of node-level GPU usage, helping administrators allocate, schedule, and split resources based on actual demand. With hard-isolated resource partitioning, multiple model instances can run on the same GPU without interfering with each other, improving utilization while maintaining predictable service behavior.

Neutree 1.1 also extends its model gateway with a unified governance layer for internal and external models. As model services are connected to more business systems, platform teams need centralized visibility into usage, quotas, access permissions, and request-level traceability. Neutree helps teams manage token usage, request activity, API key quotas, rate limits, concurrency limits, model access scopes, access logs, and security audits without changing existing application calling patterns.

Neutree is a key component of Arcfra’s agentic AI infrastructure for AI inference. Together with Arcfra Enterprise Cloud Platform, it helps enterprises build production-grade, high-performance, and governable model inference infrastructure across compute, storage, Kubernetes, and observability layers.

Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, was among the first customers to try Neutree. By using its existing Arcfra infrastructure as a production-grade AI foundation, Foxconn adopted Neutree to streamline model delivery and unify compute and model resource management.

Neutree 1.1 is now open source on GitHub. For Neutree Enterprise, contact Arcfra.
