About Fieldwork and Art

Fieldwork, or fieldwork, is a research method in which the researcher visits the field, where the term "field" is used to denote the field and the subject of the research. The term "field" is used to denote the field and the subject of the research. The research method started as a professional term in anthropology, but later, as the definition of culture evolved, it was gradually expanded to be widely used in various fields, including the field of artistic creation that we are going to talk about today.



Data Retention and Restriction

Fieldwork is a very important part of fieldwork, in which one personally contacts and records the subjects under study, and uses this as a basis for perfecting subsequent research. Art creation is no exception, and in addition to inspiration and creativity, creators also wish to experience the atmosphere of art in person, and there are now many channels through which one can actually come into contact with artists and artifacts, which provide creators with a wide variety of ways to collect materials. The effort and time spent on collecting materials is especially valuable, therefore, the preservation of data and tools for recording images should be prioritized. Relying on the advancement of digital technology and electronic devices, nowadays the form of material acquisition has become more and more diversified, the functions of smart phones are becoming more and more perfect, taking pictures, recording, audio, notes, etc. ...... and other functions have been condensed to the point that they can be accomplished by relying on the cell phone alone, but if we need to have a higher specification or more three-dimensional data, the current functions of the cell phone are still unable to help us achieve the goal. However, if you need higher specification or more three-dimensional data, the current function of the cell phone can not help us to achieve such a professional degree, so the choice of professional equipment is particularly important at this time.



33D scanning technology, a new way to save data

Recently Longhao and NCKU Institue of Art Studies have established a good cooperation relationship, and this time we are honored to be invited by the Institute of Art, National Cheng Kung University to jointly organize a series of lectures on "New Methods and Tools for Field Data Processing: 3D Scanning and Stereo Imaging Processing," which focuses on the practical operation of the students and the way of using the instruments and theories. The equipment used was SIMSCAN handheld scanner and 3D Mapping software. The SIMSCAN handheld scanner is compact and easy to carry around, which is a great advantage for researchers who need to move around or record all the time during fieldwork. It can also be used to scan deep holes and grooves in workpieces, which are hard to reach, and then create an accurate model after calculating on the computer, together with the 3D Mapping software, which can restore the most realistic color and shape of the object without causing any damage to the object. The course is suitable for artists who often come into contact with artifacts or artworks and other precious objects. During the course, the professor also provided the objects for students to operate, and the students were very enthusiastic to operate them one by one.












Future Trends

The function of the 3D scanner not only saves time in organizing research data, but also allows creators to focus on creative conception and presentation of artwork. The necessity of data digitization is increasing, and the importance of preservation, reusability, and convenience is becoming more and more important. The two lectures will not only allow students to experience new ways of data preservation, but also hope that future creators will be able to keep up with the trends of the times and create even better works of art.
