Texture to screen and back again: Exploring the manuscript as material landscape (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The textures and materialities of the pages of a manuscript are often concealed by conventional modes of display, which tend to present a manuscript as a static two-dimensional surface. Yet, if we can reveal the page of a manuscript as a physical env... Read More about Texture to screen and back again: Exploring the manuscript as material landscape.

Recreating the relief of the temple of the Jaguars: Exploring digital and analogue 2.5D printing of Mesoamerican imagery (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Digital and analogue printing methods are studied for reconstructing a Mayan decorative relief from the ancient temple of the Jaguars. Height maps, image files encoding height information as intensity values, were produced in commercial image editing...
