Technologies are fast becoming an increasingly relevant part of the cultural sector, with many institutions and creative groups starting to embrace the movement of archiving three dimensional objects.

Join us for an evening of presentations and open discussions (as well as a few snacks and drinks) which will examine the vast potential 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies hold in the accessibility, preservation and education of art and culture.

If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute please let us know!

Speakers:

Jonathan Beck - Scan the World
Scan the World is a community built initiative archiving objects of cultural significance from across the globe. The project, recently reaching 5,000 3D printable models, encourages people around the world to scan artefacts to contribute to the archive and engage with culture in a remarkably tangible way

Henry Reicholds - 3D Printed Art Installations
Reichold's work has always been at the cutting edge of technology, from his early mobile imaging to his current groundbreaking 3D printing photography he pursues his fascination with pushing back the boundaries of the photographic world.

His work has been seen by millions with a series of exhibitions at Heathrow Terminal 5, as well as the Royal Albert Hall, Tower Bridge, Millennium Bridge, Dubai Airport, The Theatre Museum, the Atrium Gallery, 'Second life’, the Loading Bay Gallery, Armory Arts Center in Los Angeles and Nokia HQ.

Tasha Marks - AVM Curiosities x Alabaster Ruins
Throughout the early modern period sugar was a true luxury, with sugar sculptures becoming synonymous with status, identity and power. Drawing on this history, Alabaster Ruins combines ancient and modern techniques, using a 17th century ‘sugar-plate’ recipe alongside cutting-edge 3D printing technology.

Vladimir Vilde - MESH
MESH is a volunteer based research group that aims to increase the use of accessible digital tools for heritage with an interest for both education and conservation. Technology used in daily life such as smartphone and computer can easily help heritage professionals who lack funding or access to professional instruments in order to investigate an artefact. We are currently working on processes using photogrammetry based on a set of pictures or videos from the public that are not meant for 3D scanning. This enables the generation of 3D models from crowd-sourced pictures of lost objects.
