Models, Volume, 3D: Twitter history.

The Twitter record of the June 2019 event, preserved as a timeline of the day's presentations, questions and images.

The series used Twitter to record talks, share images and follow the conversation during the day. This page preserves that record in sequence, together with links to the projects that were presented.

The day in sequence

  • 18 June 2019

    Day two of Models, Volume, and 3D Visualisation at @StJohnsOx, opening with @ProfGillian reminding us that visualising technologies are a hot topic at the moment, with @T3D2019 at @bodleianlibs nearby exploring its historic and contemporary impact on art and science. #dvc #modvol3D

  • 18 June 2019

    Robert Shaw, @DiscProg: the CHERISH project reveals the unrelenting process of collapse in coastline and marine environments at risk from climate change through multiple visualising practices, seeing these sites from an angle we otherwise would not see. #dvc #modvol3D

  • 18 June 2019

    Building on assemblage and notions of situated knowledge, @smackinnonIII speaks to the CHERISH project as a means to explore the material and embodied contours of data acquisition and processing. #dvc #modsvol3D

  • 18 June 2019

    An interesting question during the Q&A on collaboration for Robert Shaw and @smackinnonIII on the CHERISH project: can these well established digital visualising practices enable interrogation of the affects of situating oneself in relation to technology such as drones? #dvc

  • 18 June 2019

    Beautiful images created through point cloud datasets were shared during @pixelbeans' talk on the Glasgow School of Art SimVis project. These images reveal the vast subject matters covered by this technology, from historic sites and topography to architecture and human and nonhuman subjects. #dvc

  • 18 June 2019

    We should be careful what spaces we immerse ourselves in, from refugee sites to Pompeii. @Linnea_Saltin of @KAU on the discomfort and disorientation of being in place while being out of place in virtual reality. #dvc #modsvol3D

  • 18 June 2019

    @linnea_saltin shared a 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

  • 18 June 2019

    We are joined by @ashenkin of @OxfordEcosystem and @aliceladenburg on Gestalt Forest: a project advancing the science of tree architecture and ecosystem ecology by fusing new advances in measurement with radical interdisciplinarity, including art and science outputs. #dvc

  • 18 June 2019

    Exciting audience participation as @ashenkin and @aliceladenburg prompt us to think through how we measure the forest, while relaying the LiDAR techniques used in the Gestalt Forest project to craft new perspectives on tree architecture and to compare video, audio and diary records of observations. #dvc

  • 18 June 2019

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

  • 18 June 2019

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

  • 18 June 2019

    It is an aesthetic dream, a dream of isomorphism between the discursive object and the visible object in the Amazonian forest. @Helen_Pritchard discusses item 035, Difficult Forest, urging us to consider the possibility of the forest's liveliness. #dvc

  • 18 June 2019

    @samhind10 discusses LiDAR in Uber's testing of prototype autonomous vehicles, including the crash in Arizona in 2018. The aftermath of this prototyped vehicle and its effect on two people brings into question the capabilities of this technology and the conditions of its testing. #dvc

  • 18 June 2019

    Concluding the day with @DrMCNicholls of @StJohnsOx on the 3D visualisation of Rome, reconstructing the city with volumetric capacity, movement and the illumination of spaces, buildings and infrastructure, with applications in learning resources and video gaming. #dvc #modsvol3D

The full programme and framing questions are preserved on the June 2019 event page. The keynote video and summary are in the DVC 3 archive.
