Recordings in two
and three dimensions

One of Factum Arte´s core strengths is obsessive interest in the qualities that make things specifically what they are. This has led to the purchase of existing 2D 3D scanning systems and the development of new ones.

Multilayered files
and data conservation

Advances in digital technology have rapidly and radically changed our understanding of our shared cultural heritage. The conservation and preservation communities are realizing the importance of high-resolution digital recording and this data is starting to be integrated into professional protocols.

Fabrication, process
and digital output

Recording at the highest resolution places great strain of the software used to prepare and output digital data. Through patient research and some in-house software developments Factum Arte has gradually come to understand how the data is altered as it is optimized and down-sized to meet the limitations of the software and output devices.

Craftsmanship and technology

The work and research developed at Factum Arte combines contemporary technology and traditional techniques in the hands of skilled workers from diverse backgrounds (restoration, painting, sculpture, printing, photography, design, engineering, architecture). This thoughtful combination of traditional and technological is what makes Factum Arte stand out upon engaging ambitious projects in art and conservation,from familiar techniques to experimental territory where skills can be put to test and new approaches discovered.
