OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Superficial Nature of Maps: Digital Mediation and Cartographic Interpretation
Over the last decade Factum Arte has become a world leader in the digital capture and three-dimensional reproduction of historical maps, including the Gough map, the Hereford ‘Mappa Mundi’, and the Vatican’t ‘Sala Bologna’. Their work is driven by a fascination with recording surface data, and has broken new ground in cartographic restoration and research. In this talk, Factum’s founder, Adam Lowe, and his long-time collaborator, Jerry Brotton, will discuss some of the methods used, and showcase future cartographic projects.
