Digital Replicas Project
Michael-Ann Bevivino and Robert Shaw have recently published a paper based on their research in the Digital Replicas Project (DRP). The DRP is part of a new IRC-funded project entitled Breaking the mould: Ireland’s replicas of cultural objects from the historic to the digital that looks at the concepts and rationale behinds re-creating historic objects. It takes into account everything from historic replicas such as plaster casts made for museums in the 19th century to 3D visualisations made for conservation purposes in recent years. This paper reflects on Ireland’s collections of replicas (from the historic to the digital) and discusses some future work that will be undertaken as part of this collaborative project. The paper is published online. Bevivino, M.A. and Shaw, R. (2016) ‘Embracing historical memories through a digital medium’. Haak, C. and Helfrich, M. (Eds.). (2016), Casting.
