Artist Talks Series organised by Parveen Adams
This talk will focus on the anachronic approach of Adam Lowe’s Factum Arte and on the development of the Lucida scanner and its application for historical and contemporary projects.
Adam Lowe set up Factum Arte in 2001 in Madrid. It works to solve technical challenges for artists, institutions and museums. At its core is the mediation and transformation of information. In 2009, Lowe was awarded the Microsoft Prize for Les Humanities Scientifique by Science Po and established the Foundation for Digital Technology in Conservation. Factum Arte has collaborated with leading museums including the Louvre, the Supreme Council of Antiquities, the British Museum, and the Vatican Museum.
The Artist Talks series is funded by the Arts Council of England
