The Remote Access Room explores how museums are extending into digital platforms through post-photographic technology. The project features content from Google's Arts and Culture app, specifically Museum Street View, with screen recordings of gallery interactions as the central exhibit. This highlights how museum relationships now extend beyond the institution, involving collaborations with major corporate entities. Additionally, while many museums are digitising their collections, some have also undertaken the more complex task of creating detailed 3D scans of artefacts.

Description

Rotational video documentation of Gaussian "Splat" created of Cyrus Cylinder replica displayed in the Grenville Room Shop  

Curator's comments:

The scan was completed as part of research into ideas surrounding remote access to collections, particularly where 3D technologies are linked with both the context of display and the context of the home. The video documents Splat technology, a recent form of 3D imaging positioned between a point cloud and a mesh created of polygons. This technology, considered a photorealistic AI-trained created scene, represents a new approach to 3D imaging. The work was created using the mobile app Scaniverse, which has a function to export rotational videos of the scans created.

Curator's comments:

The 3D LiDAR film depicts visitors entering the Great Court of the British Museum. It was completed as part of research into ideas surrounding remote access to collections, particularly where 3D technologies are linked with concepts of similitude, likeness, and representation. The work is a screen recording of the augmented reality function of the Record3D app. A 3D LiDAR film is overlaid onto a live video feed. In the background of the 3D scan, and placed in direct relation, is a view similar to that of the 3D LiDAR film. This process allows for a comparison between the video representation of the space, the post-photographic 3D representation, and the embodied experience of the visitor in the gallery, creating an uncanny set of relations.

The 3D LiDAR Lely's Venus. It was completed as part of research into ideas surrounding remote access to collections, particularly where 3D technologies are linked with concepts of similitude, likeness, and representation. The work is a screen recording of the augmented reality function of the Record3D app. A 3D LiDAR film is overlaid onto a live video feed, with a view of room 22 in the background and placed in direct relation. In this context, the recontextualization of the sculptural work, positioned in room 23 of the museum, is an act of virtual curation performed by the visitor. This process allows for a comparison between the video representation of the space, the post-photographic 3D representation, and the embodied experience of the visitor in the gallery, creating an uncanny set of relations. Additionally, it gestures towards the potential of the process as a tool to create new juxtapositions both within and outside the museum space.

Curator's comments:

The scan of a wooden carved house post from Papua New Guinea, stated in the British Museum catalogue as having been made by an unknown member of the Iatmul people and acquired in the 1960s during a field collection by Anthony Forge, was completed as part of research into ideas surrounding remote access to collections. This research particularly explores how 3D technologies are linked with the context of display, the concept of repatriation, and the recontextualization of the environment in which the scan is experienced. The work is a screen recording of the augmented reality function of the mobile app Scaniverse. A 3D photogrammetric scan of the wooden carved house post, displayed in room 24 of the British Museum, London, is overlaid onto a live video feed from the Temperate House of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

King William's Temple, built in 1837, contains iron plaques commemorating British military victories from 1760 to 1815. The British Museum commentary on how the artefact came into the collection notes that Charles Fellows was "authorised" by the Sultanate in Constantinople to excavate and remove the sculptures from Xanthos in 1848.

3D Photogrammetric scan created of display cabinet containing plaster cast of the 'Narmer Palette in the Room 65, British Museum

Curator's comments:

The scan was completed as part of research into remote access to collections, particularly where 3D technologies are linked with both display and replication contexts. The plaster cast of the 'Narmer Palette' was created between 1897 and 1898. Despite requests from archaeologists James E. Quibell and Frederick W. Green for the original artifact, made from soft dark gray-green siltstone, to be brought back to Britain, the Narmer Palette (c. 3200–3000 BCE) remains in Egypt and is now part of the permanent collection of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The detail and quality of the plaster cast on display in the British Museum make it indistinguishable from an ancient artifact to the general visitor.

The scan was created using the mobile app Scaniverse.

Description

Screen recording of the augmented reality function of the Adobe mobile app Aero. In this feature of the app, a 3D photogrammetric scan is overlaid onto a live video feed.

Curator's comments:

The scan of the model of an Early Human was completed as part of research into remote access to collections, particularly linking 3D technologies with both display and educational contexts. This scan, displayed in the Natural History Museum in London, was created using the mobile app Trnio+. The project includes a screen recording of the augmented reality feature of the Adobe mobile app Aero. A 3D photogrammetric scan of a marble bearded head of a companion of Ulysses (c. 100 - 150 CE) , is overlaid onto a live video feed from Frieze Masters 2022.

3D Photogrammetric scan created doric column top and replica of Parthenon Facade contained in room 18b of the British Museum

Curator's comments:

The scan was completed as part of research into remote access to collections, particularly where 3D technologies are linked with both display and replication contexts. In this scan, a Doric column (c. 438-432 BCE) is placed in a scaled recreation of a Parthenon facade section, indicating how the column functioned aesthetically and practically in relation to the wider structure of the building.


The scan was created using the mobile app Scaniverse.

Curator's comments:

This screen recording documents a short performative action in which the researcher uses Google Arts & Culture's British Museum Street View to navigate the museum space. This act was completed as part of research into ideas surrounding remote access to collections, particularly where 3D technologies are linked with both the context of display and the home. In this instance, the researcher virtually walks from the Great Court entrance of the museum to the Parthenon Galleries, where the Remote Access room of the MoCIA is also situated.
