A Backlogged Record of Various International- Technological- Archaeological Meanderings & Projects Undertaken
Multi-Media Testing of Archaeological Theories: The Exodus
The second of the drop-everything, devote all your energy towards the professors’ projects in the Spring of 2013 was the Out of Egypt:Exodus Exhibition, where the potentiality for multi-media visualizations to investigate archaeological and historical theories was displayed. Controversially in this case, dealing with those revolving around the theories of the Old Testament Exodus.
This was the premiere of Vid Petrovic’s work dealing with high resolution textured models reconstructed by our colleague Matt Howland from aerial imaging of the Jordanian desert, creating a stunning 4K-resolution flyover of the archaeological landscape surrounding a recently excavated tomb in Wadi Fidan.
