Crafting for Spirituality: A Pedagogic Project for Digital heritage: Digital Sculpting, Projection Mapping and Beyond (Half Day)

Workshop Website

 

Objective

The 2016 “Crafting For Spirituality - A Pedagogic Project For Digital Heritage: Digital Sculpting, Projection Mapping and Beyond” aims to explore the tangible / intangible aspects of digital heritage conservation, and the utilisation of computer graphics technology to broaden the format of narrative and messaging of cultural heritage conservation. Digital sculpting and projection mapping will be the main technical aspects to explore narrative of digital heritage conservation for further protecting, educating and consolidating “building dwelling thinking” through digital heritage preservation.

Background

Two ancient cities at the nodal points of Asia region on the Silk Road, Gandhāra (now Peshawar) and Heian-Kyō(now Kyoto), possess the great heritage of culture, business and religion. Kyoto's ancient name Heian-Kyō, translates as "city as peace and tranquility", indicates the wish for poetic dwelling on the land. To-ji temple,listed as UNESCO world heritage sites at Kyoto since 1994, symbolises the beginning of Esoteric Buddhism in Japan. It inherits the ancient wooden carpentry architecture code and civic engineering. Monk Kukai’s 3D mandala at Lecture Hall in To-ji, not only includes the intangible deity-making techniques / tangible cultural heritage, but also represents the inter-cultural significance of religious art, graphic design and belief. To-ji temple has luckily survived from natural disasters, political instabilities and World War II demolishment in Japan. Its conservation and sustainability has become even more significant.

Gandhāra(now Peshawar), situated at the border between Afghanistan, Pakistan and China, has even earlier history for culture and business activities since 1AD. Finding of numerous deities and sculptures at various sites of Peshawar, Taxila, Swat, Hadda and Bamiyan further prove the inter-cultural influence of the era.

Eligible

Participants equipped with digital sculpting skills, projection mapping experiences or enthusiastic in digital heritage narrative / conservation are most welcome.

Notice To Contributors

All contributors to SIGGRAPH Asia Annual Conferences are now required to use ACM's rights management system to grant rights to publish accepted content rather than through the online submission system. Essentially, submission tracking, jury review, and acceptance remain the same, but now the rights management is through ACM, the parent organization of SIGGRAPH Asia.

You will be asked to complete an ACM rights management form, which includes permission to record and distribute the audio and video of your recorded presentation through official channels of ACM/SIGGRAPH Asia. For most content types, this will be a Permission and Release form, which allows authors to retain copyright.

More Information on these options (the FAQ is particularly useful)
