Hi all,
We'll be in Ruthwell next week photographing and 3D scanning the Ruthwell cross as part of the Visionary Cross project.
If you are interested in following what's going on while we are on site, we will be tweeting and posting photos using the hashtag #visionarycross. Blog entries, photos, and tweets will also be available at http://www.visionarycross.org/
This website was put together by some students on the basis of the original funding applications and will be fairly low-level for most of the people on this list. Now that we are beginning to get new data, we'll be updating it with better bibliography, photos, and the like as they become available.
The team will be assembling in Ruthwell and setting up on Monday and Tuesday. Scanning and photographic work should be happening Wednesday through Friday. On site will be James Graham (New Media, Lethbridge), Heather Hobma (Lethbridge graduate student), Catherine Karkow (Art History, Leeds) Roberto Rosselli Del Turco (Linguistics, Turin), the CNR scanning team (Marco Callieri and Matteo Dellepiane), and myself. Our fellow team member Wendy Osborn (Computer Science, Lethbridge) will be in Lethbridge.
Please feel free to look up the site periodically next week to see the scanning in action!
This work is being funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the University of Lethbridge.
