COURSE SYLLABUS

The course Virtual Heritage In the Digital Twin includes two parts - Cultural Heritage In the Digital Memory and Virtual Automaton. The Cultural Heritage In the Digital Twin provides case studies to examine the digital twin applied to the heritage sites and structures. The Virtual Automaton investigates the manufacturing and fluid identity of the automaton in the museum collection, curatorial approaches, and the virtual representation in the digital realm.
Upon the participation of the courses, the audiences are able to explore the digital heritage imaging of tangible and intangible heritage. The demonstrations of digital twin and virtual automaton aim to broaden the format of narrative and messaging of cultural heritage conservation.

Dr. Chen integrates the concepts of 3D visualization, GIS mapping, and cultural data sculpting into digital heritage imaging. Dr. Chen hosts digital heritage forums at SIGGRAPH Asia and invites interdisciplinary experts (museum content, architecture, urban planning, curation, and aesthetics) for sharing.

 

In the exhibition "Transference: Images and Archives of Dazu Rock Carvings" curated by Mr. Qin Zhen at the Sichuan Art Academy Museum, Dr. Chen demonstrates the web-based interactive installation of Counting Beads Avalokiteśvara of cave No.125 (Beishan area of Dazu Rock Carvings,  960-1127 A.D.) in the form of point cloud visualization; In the same year, Chen also presents the digitization process to the audiences in New York during the “Virtual Journey: Chinese Buddhism Art and Architecture In the Digital Era ” exhibition curated by Ms. Jinyoung Jin at the Charles B. Wang Center. Chen further collaborates with art historians and conservators to host Mellon Buddhist Workshop at the FreerSackler Museum in Washington D.C. to share the experiences and conservation/research concepts from the perspective of digital heritage. To push the boundary, Chen utilizes GIS mapping and Extended Reality(XR) to integrate the heritage data into more comprehensive digital narrative.

陳博士將數字三維可視化、地理信息、文化數據雕塑等理念融入數字文化遺產內容開發,與香港絲路文化協會合作,將犍陀羅時期文物及佛教造像予以三維可視化,並導入網路交互閱覽平台。陳博士亦於亞洲電腦圖形及互動技術會展中,主持數字文化遺產論壇,廣邀美、德等國在博物館內容、建築、都會發展、當代藝術策展及美學等方向學有專精的人士,分享經驗。
