"3D Pitoti" is an exhibition of digitally captured rock art from Valcamonica (BS) in the present-day Italian Alps. The word 'Pitoti' means 'little Puppet' in the local dialect. In our display the digital 'puppets' start to move, when the visitor gets close enough. The three-dimensional scans have been made with a specially created scanner and processed as part of the EU funded 3D Pitoti research project. The exhibition asks: how did the artists, who made this prehistoric art, understand movement?
The Final Event of the 3D Pitoti ERC- funded project took place in Cambridge on January 18 and 19th, 2016 - Pitoti 3Dflyer
