CASE STUDY GLYPTOTHEK
One focus for DUST AND DATA is the Glyptothek of the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, which is a collection of plaster casts dating back to the late 17th century. The Glyptothek itself is currently known to a very limited public only, but DUST AND DATA aims to bring its content back to the attention of both digital and real life audiences in the 21st century.
