We just go to know our newest member of the CHANGE family, ESR 14 Thomas Rigauts, a little better 😊 He presented his research to the consortium and shared from his first-hand experience at world heritage sites 🏛😎🎨 #msca #researchimpacteu #h2020 #changeitn #conservation #culturalheritage

Archeologically important artifacts provide a glim

Archeologically important artifacts provide a glimpse into the rich art and culture of that country. These artifacts change with time and therefore need proper consideration. Today the world is going digital…so why not Cultural Heritage...
let’s use technology for the digitization of Cultural Heritage and preserve it for future generations… so that they can visualize in a similar way to Mr. Bean... 😊 because “Object appearance depends upon how we want to look at them”

Many objects of cultural heritage have become frag

Many objects of cultural heritage have become fragile over their lifespans and are in danger of being lost forever and others have become indecipherable to the human eye. As such, applying scientific imaging techniques is vital to both their preservation and understanding. Two such instances of this are the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Herculaneum Scrolls.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are an example of preserving these subjects, as even though the discovery of the first Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 is generally considered the greatest archaeological event of the 20th century, much of the final collection is but fragments of what they once were. The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), with the help of Google, undertook the daunting task of imaging and making available to the public the entire collection. This digital collection hosts “about 930 manuscripts, comprising thousands of Dead Sea Scrolls fragments, in high-resolution and multiple spectra.” The General Director of the IAA, Shuka Dorfman, describes the scrolls as an “unrivalled cultural heritage treasure which belongs to all of us” and the images can be viewed for free at https://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/home
The Herculaneum Scrolls show us how with modern imaging techniques we can investigate objects of cultural heritage in a way we never could before. Scrolls from the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum were caught in a volcanic eruption, burning and fusing them into something near-unrecognizable as a repository of ancient knowledge. Dr. Brent Seales, at the University of Kentucky, leads a team who employs computer-tomography (CT) scanning and X-rays to image the interior of the charred scrolls so that they may be digitally unraveled and read. This project is still ongoing and the Smithsonian has done a wonderful write-up on this all at https://bit.ly/32XW9YX .

For today, a tragically comic anecdote from the

For today, a tragically comic anecdote from the land where 17.71% of this world's population lives and the highest number of youth as well.

This happened last year in Kolkata...While marveling at the beauty of Victoria Memorial and pondering over its enormous history, I heard three random young tourists say "abey yaar issey acha to ham log red bull ka can khareed kar pee lete"
(Dude, we could have had a can of red bull instead of buying tickets for this)
I was just speechless. Whose fault is it? Or should it be simply ignored?

PS: The price of ticket per person is 30/- INR (38 cents of €); price of 1 can of red bull is 90/- (1.14€) CHANGE can only be brought completely by bringing a CHANGE in the attitude of people towards Cultural Heritage and I pledge to be a proponent of this CHANGE.

That's why, we, at the CHANGE-ITN project, are trying to look at the past through the eyes of science and technology, so as the past will CHANGE the way it looks and will reveal all of its hidden secrets!

In all its simplicity the word “change” can be appreciated in different ways. For the 15 enthusiasts of CHANGE-ITN it has a special meaning. Color, materials, volume, chemical compositions, perception of the value and aesthetics are examined by imaging and analytical techniques so as to advance Cultural Heritage Analysis for New GEneration and lead in innovative modifications of current technologies for revising and transitioning the changes that tangible cultural heritage encounter’s through time.
Follow us and understand change through the eyes of a multidisciplinary and multicultural team of young researchers (link in bio). #he-arc #conservation #restoration #conservationrestoration #conservationscience #imaging #phdlife #changeitn #h2020

This year marks the 500 anniversary of Leonardo da

This year marks the 500 anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death. He was one of the worlds greatest minds and his work is constantly being studied by scientists, conservators and curators.
Using a range of techniques, like infrared reflectography and hyperspectral imaging, heritage scientists have found that behind his famous painting “The Virgin of the Rocks”, lies a completely different preparatory design. This confirms Leonardo’s relentless creativity, constantly changing and adapting.

Happy b'day, M. Skłodowska-Curie!
Born today in 1867, the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for her contribution in the fields of physics and chemistry, the pioneer scientist is the namesake of our research fellowship. Peer at your own risk! The notes in this diary are still as radioactive as the element they describe...Check out her biography and work at bit.ly/2X09ui0

Colours 🎨. They are all around - & artists have manipulated them to represent the world we live in 👩🏽‍🎨👨🏼‍🎨. But what if these colours start to CHANGE beyond our understanding? 😱
▫
This PhD project will look into ✨ new ways of cleaning one medium of colour - unvarnished oil paints 🖼, examples of which you see here - & how we can monitor their change during conservation 🧐
▫
✅ Follow this space (as well as @jdc.conservation) to see the rest of this colourful tale unfold! 🌈
