(IN)TANGIBLE HERITAGE(S)
Abstract
In the past, works of art used to be aimed at a local public that was very focused on the community environment where the cultural asset was circumscribed. From medieval times onward, the impact of information on works of art spread globally. Over the years, artistic works were increasingly disseminated and shared through treaties by artists from different countries, ethnic and cultural origins, until they increased in an unthinkable way in the 21st century through new ICT technologies.
The conservation and protection of cultural heritage is a topic of special relevance because every work of art or historic building suffers deterioration over time, which may be naturally, due to its age, or it may be because of climatic conditions and others related by the action of man. This degradation depends on the type of material, the conditions of the interior environment in which the works of art are exhibited, and human factors. Prediction in heritage conservation makes it possible to detect pathologies in buildings in advance. One method of obtaining information on real cases and evaluating rehabilitation materials and interventions is the use of non-destructive testing. Due to rapid progress in the application of new technologies, images of cultural property can be recorded and processed to obtain virtual elements, guaranteeing their physical integrity. Specifically, LiDAR techniques and photogrammetry are widely used tools in the field of cultural heritage to analyze and visualize large objects, such as architectural buildings, and small objects, such as sculptures or tiles. An advantage of using these techniques is the possibility of recording any object accessible to photography, regardless of its surface. The objective of this research is to know the 3D spatial distribution of artistic objects within the architectural framework and to see how geolocation can influence the deterioration of the work of art.
