Taking place at ARCHiVe’s studios within the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, this workshop reflects one of Factum’s core principles; to provide practical training on real digitisation projects, an experience that provides students with a better insight into the realities of onsite work. In this case, participants carried out fieldwork recordings at various institutions around Venice, and the valuable data they obtained could give rise to larger projects for ARCHiVe.
During the workshop, students utilised photogrammetry to produce 3D recordings of a series of classical busts at the ‘Domus Grimani’ exhibition at Palazzo Grimani. These recordings demonstrate the capability of our technology to generate high-resolution photogrammetric scans of even reflective materials. Students also used photogrammetry on two porphyry busts, a series of Maiolica pottery and a small terracotta head by Antonio Canova at the Colnaghi exhibition held at Abbazia di San Gregorio. On San Giorgio, the Lucida 3D Scanner was used to record high-resolution data for the surface of a painting on canvas by Girolamo Brusaferro.
