Lucida is a high-resolution 3D laser scanner, custom built by Factum Arte with the financial support of the Factum Foundation. Conceived and developed by the artist Manuel Franquelo, this system is the result of more than fourteen years of research in the field of recording the surface of paintings and low-relief objects © Oak Taylor Smith for Factum Arte

Three-dimensional digitization

Education
plus Oct, 13 — Nov, 18 2021

2021 October 13, 14, 27, 28; November 4, 18 – 6 online meetings of 2 hour each, from 4.30 to 6.30 pm

 

The course AOA | Three-dimensional digitization, entirely curated by Factum Foundation, partner of Fondazione Giorgio Cini, will expand and deepen into the concepts and practices of 3D digitization for Cultural Heritage. 

Two types of lessons are presented: classes focusing on theoretical aspects and case studies, workshops demonstrating the application of a particular technology that has been discussed in the previous class.

 

The course has come to an end but you can find the recordings of all lessons on the YouTube channel of Fondazione Giorgio Cini (here the link to the dedicated playlist).

Detailed programme:

 

Class 1: Recording the relief of paintings (Carlos Bayod)

October 13

  • Recording with the Lucida 3D Scanner, Factum and ARCHiVe’s system for digitizing relief. The process of planning, capturing, processing, visualizing, sharing and reproducing the surface of paintings and other low-relief artifacts for conservation purposes. Creating the digital fingerprint of an artwork.
