Artist Statement

Extending Heritage is a virtual reality art piece focusing on the digital preservation of cultural heritage sites with currently available low-cost tools. A practice based exploration of these tools and a reflection of a student and foreigners experience in Hanoi, Vietnam. Centred around a study tour led by local architectural research team Hanoi Adhoc.

Adapted into a multi-modal VR journey utilising audio, video, Gaussian splats, photogrammetry and collaged attempts at low poly optimised 3d Models.
