Project description
New tech to preserve cultural heritage colours
Textiles can start fading in just 10 years. Only small traces of the original polychromy on ancient Greek and Roman statues are visible today. Attempts to reconstruct their original appearance are a priority for the preservation of coloured cultural heritage collections. In this context, the EU-funded PERCEIVE project is working to develop a reliable method for studying, reconstructing, rendering, exhibiting and reappropriating these collections. PERCEIVE results will advance the digital capabilities of scientists and cultural institutions through a service-based AI and image-based rendering architecture and toolkit, as well as a new design theory for on-site and remote XR and hybrid experiences based on concepts of care, participation and authenticity. Moreover, it will develop a design toolkit for educators and creative industries.
Objective
PERCEIVE aims at improving the perception, preservation, curation, exhibition, understanding and access of colored Cultural Heritage collections. It aims at developing a reliable way to Study, Reconstruct, Render, Remap, Exhibit and Re-appropriate them. These collections are, in fact, a priority because of their high fragility that requires shared methods to preserve and exhibit them (i.e. textiles start fading in only 10 years, while only small traces of the original polychromy on classical statues is left today), because of the complexity of their study (especially with the attempts of reconstructing their original appearance), and because of the importance of their communication to future generations and of the shaping of European common identity around the concepts of “care” and diversity/variety” (i.e. the different shades of skin colors that were common in the Greek and Roman times). PERCEIVE starts from the twofold needs of better preserving and communicating colored artworks, improving and speeding up scientific process results, that could better be used to maximize visitors' experience with the physical and the digital colored collections. Following the coronavirus emergency, in fact, museums have proved to lack of a digital policy that could guarantee a sustainable remote access for visitors. PERCEIVE aims at advancing the digital capability of scientists and cultural institutions, through a service based AI architecture and tool-kit; and by developing a new design theory for on site and remote VR/AR/MR experiences, based on “Care” “Accessibility” and “Authenticity” concepts, with and for the creative industries. Our expected outcomes include services and tools including: a PERCEIVE Tool Kit connected to an on line easy-to-use Service, PERCEIVE Experience Prototypes for the visitors, PERCEIVE Design Tool Kit for designers and educators.
