Thrilled to announce the third digital | visual | cultural event—Models, Volume, and 3D Visualisation — June 17 and 18. Keynote from @clancywilmott with a day of conversation from scholars and practitioners TBA. Book here: https://t.co/gND0UVVVdw

Heads up! Ever wondered about the heads outside the Sheldonian? Who do YOU think should be on display? Learn more about the Oxford Heads project - & design your own head for display - at tomorrow's @HSMOxford event: https://t.co/BRH47nvJ8w

While visuality is critical to this modelling of Rome, @DrMCNicholls mentions users asking for additional features like sound - how might the deployment of this feature alter responses to 3D representations of cultural heritage sites, as opposed to photos/images? #dvc

Concluding the day with @DrMCNicholls (@StJohnsOx) on the 3D visualisation of Rome reconstructing the city with volumetric capacity, movement & the illumination of spaces/buildings/infrastructure with applications in learning resource + video gaming #dvc #modsvol3D

@dvcultural Read more about @jararocha and Femke Snelting's brilliant collective "Possible Bodies" inventory here: https://t.co/R8OtbC1g7E #dvc

@Helen_Pritchard presenting as part of @dvcultural #dvc #modvols3d. Positioning queering damage and alternative volumetric imaginaries in the context of the Possible Bodies Inventory. #queeranalytics #environmentalcomputing https://t.co/YLX3QLPGje

“It is an aesthetic dream, a dream of isomorphism between the discursive object & the visible object in the Amazonian forest.” @Helen_Pritchard discusses item 035 'Difficult Forest' [ https://t.co/XFACiwOwYX] urging us to consider the possibility of the forest's liveliness #dvc

@Helen_Pritchard introduces queer analytics to speculate on practices that damage institutions, power structures, path dependencies, colonialism as an urgent reclaiming of data analytics informing the "Possible Bodies" action research project w/@citizen_sense, @goldcomputing #dvc

The short paper is out on our description of the tallest tropical tree (possibly the tallest angiosperm), exploring why it is the height it is, and accompanied with glorious 3D data. Great partnership with colleagues in UK and Malaysia

Fantastic interaction between @ashenkin & @aliceladenburg on architectural vs. art-based practice: "is there a middle point between the residue of perception & architectural science that 3D visualisations might offer? A mode of knowledge possible through these technologies" #dvc

We have to remove the trees from the point cloud. It's not trivial, it's painful - Alexander Shenington and Alice Ladenburg #dvc #modvols3d

Exciting audience participation as @ashenkin & @aliceladenburg prompt us to think through how we measure the forest while they relay the LiDAR techniques being used in @Gestalt_Forest to craft new perspectives on tree architecture vs. video/audio/diary to record observations #dvc

We are joined by @ashenkin of @OxfordEcosystem/@ecioxford & @aliceladenburg on @Gestalt_Forest: a project advancing the science of tree architecture & ecosystem ecology by fusing new advances in measurements with radical interdisciplinarity including art + science outputs #dvc

@dvcultural great presentations on reality modelling of Irish and Welsh archeological sites, some interactive models at

@linnea_saltin, @KAU shares this striking image of a woman riding a bike immersed in another environment against the backdrop of a sunset ➡️ VR technology is embedded in gendered, embodied experiences of immersion #dvc #modsvol3D

"We should be careful what spaces we immerse ourselves in to from refugee sites to Pompeii" @Linnea_Saltin of @KAU on the discomfort & disorientation of being in place while being out of place in Virtual Reality #dvc #modsvol3D

Some beautiful images created through point cloud datasets being shared during @pixelbeans talk on @GSofASimVis project @GSofA. These images reveal the vast subject matters covered by this technology, from historic sites, topography, architecture, human + non-human subjects #dvc

"By mixing up disciplines we build vocabularies between 3D modellers, product designers, computer scientists & others to produce creative & exciting work" @pixelbeans speaking on the benefits of interacting between disciplines using dig visual technologies at @GSofA #dvc

Interesting q. during the Q&A on collaboration for Robert Shaw @DiscProg & @smackinnonIII on @CHERISHproj enabling the interrogation of these well-established digital visualising practices, thinking through the affects of situating ones self in relation to tech like drones #dvc

Building on assemblage & notions of situated knowledge @smackinnonIII speaks to @CHERISHproj/@DiscProg as means to explore the material & embodied contours of data acquisition & processing #dvc #modsvol3D

Paired with the @CHERISHproj we hear from @smackinnonIII of @oxfordgeography on archaeological projects adopting digital visualising technologies, such as drones. How can theory keep pace with the rate of enthusiasm for methods & technologies of knowledge production? #dvc
