 Alessandro Furlan (Altair4), La casa di Iulius Polybius a Pompei, ITALIA 2001, 12'00'' The House of Julius Polybius in Pompeii has come to life again thanks to an elaborate process of visual restoration achieved by Altair4 Multimedia on request of the University of Tokyo, specifically of Prof. Masanori Aoyagi. To obtain the elaboration of the video, entirely created and achieved by Altair4 of Rome, a digital restoration was performed on tens of frescoes, a virtual reconstruction of all the house was also performed, and the dynamics of the eruption and its impact on the house were enhanced. The complex reconstruction work has been illustrated with a three-dimensional technique which leads the spectator to the discovery of the rooms of the house, in all their details. The aim of the film is to give the visitor a house that is still “alive”, just a minute before the catastrophe, and to illustrate its destruction and rediscovery. Some rare historical pictures showing the house at the moment of its rediscovery have been superimposed and then taken away from the corresponding virtual images: this leap in time allows for the understanding and confronting of what has really remained of the house and what has been virtually reconstructed. Altair4 The members of the Altair4 creative team come from diverse backgrounds and experience in computer animation, graphic arts and design, and broadcast productions. New multimedia technology makes it possible to merge the different disciplines and methodologies into new interactive productions. Their interest in the Arts and History has directed the choice of subjects which more and more have the purpose of disseminating and celebrating our cultural and artistic heritage. The ongoing dialogue between past and present characterises all Altair4 productions and its innovative and multi-faceted approach to creating computer products where advanced technological tools and artistic and cultural processes are joined. |
