Workshop on Analysis and Recording of Cultural Heritage in Venice

The ARCHiVe Centre of Fondazione Giorgio Cini is presenting a workshop for the second consecutive year, focusing on the application of high-resolution, contactless digital technologies for the digitisation of documentary, archival, and library materials. Over 20 hours, the intensive workshop will introduce participants to specific 2D digitisation technologies and methods, as well as the application of deep learning techniques, computer vision, and the use of artificial intelligence in the post-production of digital files.

The three-day workshop will be held in person and will be based on a learning-by-doing approach, alternating theoretical training on photography, archives, and the preservation and enhancement of digital heritage with practical sessions, allowing participants to experience the handling and acquisition of materials. The workshop is open to a selected group of participants (students and professionals from various backgrounds) who will have the opportunity to learn and interact directly with the ARCHiVe team.

Accommodation for two nights at the Vittore Branca Centre Residence on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, lunch on the first day, and an ACTV pass for travel within the lagoon for the duration of the workshop are included in the participation fee. A certificate of attendance will be issued at the end of the workshop.

The course will only proceed if 12 participants are reached.

If your application is accepted, you will receive an email by September 11 that will provide a deadline for accepting and paying for your place. Your place will be held until this deadline.
