The digital preservation of historical cultural heritage continues to pose new challenges for the researchers at the Ars Electronica Futurelab. After all, working with this precious heritage requires intuition and patience. Using the contactless process of photogrammetry, they carefully translated one of the Schaunberg tombs from the collegiate church of Wilhering into a virtual object in order to turn it into an immersive 3D cultural experience in Deep Space 8K. In this colossal large format, unknown insights into high-resolution details are created, which can thus be made accessible to scientists from all parts of the world and which can no longer be viewed in this form in the original. Stefan Mittböck-Jungwirth-Fohringer, artist and expert in this field, will present the lab’s latest project together with Abbot Reinhold Dessl and Dr. Lothar Schultes live from the Ars Electronica Center’s Deep Space 8K.
