CHI – Cultural Heritage Imaging and Storytelling

Written by Caroline. Posted in News, Podcast

Our most recent podcast subject was actually a duo: Carla Schroer and Mark Mudge, the founders of a nonprofit called Cultural Heritage Imaging, or CHI. CHI’s mission, as stated on their website, is to drive “development and adoption of practical digital imaging and preservation solutions for people passionate about saving humanity’s treasures today, before they are lost.”

From Paleolithic caves to art museums and other historic sites around the world, Carla and Mark have worked up close with some of history’s most cherished artifacts, and have some fascinating things to say about the stories these physical objects tell. We were lucky enough to catch up with this “dynamic duo” just before they left for a 3-week trip to Berlin.

On the floor, camera mounted to a camera stand (rather than a tripod), the CHI team, and FAMSF photographic experts, define an area of interest on an artwork by Nardon Penicaud, (French 1470-1542). 
This piece, 'Scenes of Life of Christ', (painted enamel on copper) revealed a shocking network of fractures and damaged sections in need of repair.
