Dal 26 al 30 giugno si è tenuto a Firenze il 29° CIPA2023 Symposium “Documenting, Understanding, Preserving Cultural Heritage: Humanities and Digital technologies for Shaping the Future”, a cui ha partecipato come uditrice la dottoranda del XXXVIII° ciclo, Arch. Simonetta Acacia.

Nella prima giornata si sono svolta la cerimonia di apertura all’interno del Salone dei Cinquecento di Palazzo Vecchio: sono state tenute le keynotes di Claudio Margottini e Mario Santana Quintero, oltre ad alcune premiazioni

In chiusura di giornata, è stato possibile partecipare alla digital performance “Il fregio di Ceppo” nella quale la Compagnia dell’Accademia Teatrale di Firenze ha messo in scena il fregio ceramico dello Spedale del Ceppo di Pistoia, seguendo una sceneggiatura generata da intelligenza artificiale e rielaborata dagli attori. I “tableau vivant” dinamici erano sincronizzati con la proiezione su sette schermi del fregio acquisito con fotogrammetria digitale dal Laboratorio Geco dell’Università di Firenze.

Le giornate successive sono state interessate dalla vera e propria attività congressuali, articolate in sessioni parallele, oltre ad ulteriori Keynotes (Paola Pisano, Sarah Kenderdine e, per lo sponsor Leica, Simone Oppici).

La dottoranda ha seguito le sessioni maggiormente pertinenti al suo tema di ricerca, riportate di seguito insieme all’indicazione di eventuali interventi di particolare interesse:
