Description

Digital imaging, modelling, making and interpretation of 3D cultural heritage objects and their replicas

Please note, the afternoon session for this workshop will be held at the Fitzwilliam Museum (Education Seminar Room, The Fitzwilliam Museum, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1RB) - please consult the timetable below for timings.

An all-day workshop organised by Cambridge Digital Humanities and the Fitzwilliam Museum, with the support of the University of Cambridge’s Arts and Humanities Impact Fund

Guest speakers:

  • Dr Paola di Giuseppantonio di Franco, Eastern ARC Fellow in the Digital Humanities, University of Essex
  • Jonathan Beck, Project Manager for the ScanTheWorld Initiative, MyMiniFactory (https://www.myminifactory.com/scantheworld/)
  • Steven Dey, Owner, ThinkSee3D (https://www.thinksee3d.com/)
  • Anaïs Aguerre, Director, ReACH project (https://www.vam.ac.uk/research/projects/reach-reproduction-of-art-and-cultural-heritage)
  • Dr Donal Cooper, Senior Lecturer in Italian Renaissance Art, University of Cambridge

The workshop will bring together experts in a range of topics related to the study of, and interaction with, three-dimensional museum objects and their replicas.

We will be exploring, in particular, the way in which 3D sensing, digital modelling and the production of replicas can support and enhance our study and interpretation of 3D objects. The public's perception and they ways in which people interact with these objects will also be considered.

Our guest speakers will present the state-of-the-art of research in these fields and discuss best practices for the choice of suitable, affordable and impactful solutions. The workshop participants will be asked to work together and issue a ‘creative challenge’ to design and produce objects inspired by a selection of polychrome wooden sculptures in the Fitzwilliam Museum collection, which will be advertised to members of Cambridge’s Community Workshop MakeSpace and more broadly, to interested industrial and academic parties.

The afternoon session, held at the Fitzwilliam Museum, will include a hands-on 3D scanning exercise, for which participants are invited to bring their own device (camera or phone).

Please note, a sandwich lunch will be provided. If you have any special dietary needs please contact Michelle Maciejewska (mm405@cam.ac.uk) by Wednesday 7 March. Help us cater accurately and avoid wasting food - please cancel your ticket through Eventbrite or inform the organisers if you cannot attend.
