Computer Aided Manufacture in Fine Art Printmaking
Co-authored with Paul Catanese
As Research Associate at Glasgow School of Art in 2008, Angela Geary developed the digital physicality project to investigate new methods of hybrid practice combining computer aided manufacture (CAM) technologies, including laser cutting, with traditional intaglio printmaking. A&C Black recently contracted her, and co-author Paul Catanese, Assistant Professor at Columbia College Chicago, to write a book on CAM Printmaking.
Like3D Virtual Restoration of Polychrome Sculpture: Techniques and Applications
chapter in Ed. MacDonald, L., Digital Heritage - Applying Digital Imaging to Cultural Heritage, 2006, Elsevier, Oxford.
Extract:
The practice of physically restoring the appearance of damaged and aged artifacts is long established in the field of conservation. It is still widely considered an essential aspect of the conservators role and indispensable to our appreciation of cultural heritage, particularly in the domain of pictorial art. However, the imposition of one view of the possible original appearance of an object, albeit “well informed”, can give rise to significant subjective approximation or complete invention. The author’s research into the application of digital imaging technology in conservation has explored the viability of providing an alternative means of visualising the past appearances of artifacts. Virtual restoration could come to displace the aesthetically motivated physical restoration of objects by offering an alternative means of conveying original appearance in the context of museum display.
Enhanced Study and Training for Museums through Virtual Touch
chapter in Ed. Pye, The power of Touch: Handling in Museums and Heritage Contexts, 2007, Left Coast Press, Walnut Creek, CA.
Extract:
Demonstrably, haptic interaction is best implemented where it can provide the greatest perceptual value. In simple point and click tasks, for example, extraneous haptic feedback would not benefit the user. As a result, haptic technology probably will not displace conventional computer interaction. Rather, it is likely that haptics will continue to be focused on specialist applications where the technology offers desirable perceptual enhancement or cognitive performance benefits.
