Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum is a leader in the field of collecting and displaying contemporary design across wide range media, including born-digital interactive works, 3D computer-aided designed printed objects, as well more traditional materials. As digital acquisitions have increased, an interdisciplinary group was formed order to best guide this expanding area collecting. This worked collaboratively steer recent Digital Collections Materials Project, critical review develop...
ABSTRACTABSTRACTRemediation of disfiguring scratches and abrasions on aging plastics challenges even the most experienced conservator. This study assesses effect three NOVUS polishing products remediation poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Samples were prepared to mimic depth type observed during conservation treatment performed vacuum-formed reliefs from 1960s. The compares samples new/unaged PMMA naturally aged samples. Two different methods successfully used assess efficacy, which is...
Conservation investigation often includes substantial technical analysis, and digital tools now permit visitor engagement with this content in museum galleries. Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) 3D laser scanning were integral parts of a recent study gilt metalwork performed on an early 19th-c. French table centerpiece at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum (CHSDM). RTI permitted interactive viewing surface textures to show toolmarks evident from manufacturing. allowed comparison...
