Faculty at the University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation are using a new piece of so-called "mixed reality" technology called ‘HoloLens.'They describe it as augmented reality, but with more features and the potential to not only help people with mobility issues and other disabilities, but make collaboration in art conservation and many other sectors seamless.Delaware Public Media's Rachel Sawicki recently joined Joelle Wickens – Associate Director of the UD Program in Art Conservation and an Assistant Professor of Preventive Conservation – and her team in the field to learn about HoloLens and its potential.

Jolyon Collier is a philanthropist, artist, and President & Founder of Counting Coral, a nonprofit dedicated to coral reef restoration through sculptures that house coral nurseries to grow more resilient coral. You can watch the video about the Counting Coral - Project Fiji installation here. Counting Coral is a 501-(c)(3) certified nonprofit dedicated to reef restoration. Counting Coral designs, builds, donates, and installs stainless steel sculptural coral nurseries specifically designed to grow climate resilient coral. These intricately designed sculptures create both an underwater park and a coral nursery, where fragile reef systems can be rebuilt and protected amongst the awe and attention from tourists. Counting Coral is working towards diminishing the massive and devastating effects of coral loss by changing the way coral gardener's garden coral. Our new approach to reef restoration is to harvest climate resilient coral and place them on our sculptures that are specifically designed to protect coral from predators. These precious and valuable corals will be kept safe and allowed to grow to spawning maturity, this coral will then naturally propagate valuable ecosystems. Counting Coral is leading the development of Sculptural Coral Banks, a new and advanced method to aid coral growth. Sculptural coral banks are designed with coral propagation in mind. These beautiful structures are multi-functional, tackling previous issues in restoration and tourism. Their sculptures are planted out with climate-resilient coral, developing into a coral bank over time. Their coral banks will naturally propagate reef systems, whilst maintaining a healthy coral supply for harvesting when needed.

Pu Lan discusses her PhD project, which explores the 17th-century Monastery of Tango and how it illustrates the development of wall painting technology in Bhutan The Kingdom of Bhutan retains an exceptional heritage of Buddhist wall paintings dating from the early 16 th century to the present. As one of the most significant sites the Utse (central tower) of Tango Monastery, established in 1688 presented itself as a unique demonstration of wall painting development and changes since the 17th century to the present. Scientific analysis provided the opportunity to understand the paintings from a perspective of making, answering questions such as how the painting was made and what materials were used. Further comparative studies helped draw the timeline of renovation phases and re-establish the building history when literature records were incomplete. This talk will use Tango Utse to describe the changes in wall painting technology in Bhutan from the 17th century to the present day.

Ayesha Fuentes shares a unique and interdisciplinary insight into art conservation of human remains in Tibetan material religion This talk introduces research into the use and instrumentalization of human remains in Tibetan material religion – as skull vessels, bone ornaments, thighbone trumpets and the double-sided skull drum – through an object-centered methodology that combines the technical documentation of examples in accessible museums and collections, visual cultural and iconographic study, and observations and interviews made during fieldwork across the Himalayas. This work attempts to describe an interpretive rubric for these objects within a dynamic continuity of material skill and knowledge transfer, social valorization and cultural historical narratives, and which is complementary to textual sources and/or practice-based religious education.

Lucy joins me this week and tells me about a very different experience. Scripps College is an all women's institution and Lucy studies Art Conservation and Anthropology. Scripps felt like the right place from the get-go, but that doesn't come without certain struggles. We also talk about the Stuy experience and how we actually did it. Honestly, we don't even know how we did it. We normalized things and somehow got through it. A trial by fire to say the least.

One of the biggest challenges facing media artists today is the concept of preservation. Any work of art needs to be restored, touched up and preserved to last over time. But with rapidly evolving technology, it's become hugely necessary to regularly maintain and put systems in place to keep tech-art alive and functioning as it should. In this episode, we speak with Morgan Kessler, Media Collections Manager at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) who oversees the preservation of the museum’s collection of Time-Based art. Artworks Discussed in this Episode:Mungo Thomson, Composition for Marimba, 2016Nam June Paik, Video Flag Z, 1986 -About Morgan Kessler-Morgan Kessler has been working with museums and artists as an Audio Visual Specialist since 2008. She joined LACMA in 2012 as a Time-Based Media Technician in the Gallery Media department. In her current role as Media Collections Manager, she is charged with the care of the museum’s collection of Time-Based artworks.You can tweet Morgan @IamtheMogie

Dr Krystal joins Dr Shane in the studio. In news, cure for River Blindness approved by FDA and a discussion on whale sharks First guest is Dr Sarah Dunstan from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity. A study into the population and spread of tuberculosis-causing (TB) bacteria in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has found that more than half of cases can be attributed to one particular strain of the bacteria. A Melbourne-led international collaboration, sequenced the DNA from bacteria in TB patients Ho Chi Minh City. The findings concluded that the strain of TB-causing bacteria known as the Beijing lineage, was responsible for 59 per cent of infections. Second (and third) guests are Dr Mark Hulett and Dr Marc Kvansakul, from La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science. A team of scientists from Melbourne's La Trobe University has shown a protein found in a tobacco plant has the potential to fight life-threatening infectious diseases. The discovery could lead to the development of a new class of antibiotics and meet the challenge of rising antibiotic resistance. Third guest is Elaine Miles, Climate Data Analyst at the Bureau of Meteorology Melbourne Art conservationist and physicist with a PhD in Optics and Art Conservation, has monitored western style canvas paintings that were housed in the South East Asia region.

NASA's Juno Probe arrives at Jupiter on 4th July, where it will execute a daring loop-the-loop in order to get closer to the giant planet than any other spacecraft in history. Juno is constructed like an armoured tank, because Jupiter is surrounded by a belt of very intense radiation that can quickly fry most spacecraft electronics. On July 4, Juno's engines will attempt to slow the probe down so it can be sucked into Jupiter's orbit. The slightest error could mean Juno misses this window, putting an end to the $1.1 billion mission. The man in charge is Dr Scott Bolton, and he speaks to Adam from Pasadena in California. Traditional art conservation tends to focus on paintings - how to stop paint from peeling. But contemporary art uses a much broader range of materials; plastics, rubber; pickled sharks. This means that an ever-increasing array of techniques are needed to conserve those materials. A new project is looking at the role nanotechnology can play, as Rob Thompson reports. It's National Robot Week. There is a fear that robots will replace many of the jobs done by humans. But what if robots just stuck to emptying the gutters and fixing potholes; the chores that humans find tedious? Professor Phil Purnell from Leeds University has just launched a project that aims to use robots to fix bits of the city - finding and patching tiny defects before they turn into massive sinkholes. The European eel may be mysterious, and delicious but it is also critically endangered. The only reason we know this is because of organisations like the Zoological Society of London. They do the unglamorous job of monitoring these fish caught in traps in rivers around the UK. Marnie Chesterton went along to count eels in rainy Brentford with ZSL's Joe Pecorelli, who shares his knowledge of this creature's epic life journey.

In 1960, Sheldon and Caroline Keck, pioneers in the field of art conservation, established the first U.S. conservation training program at New York University. Ten years later, they established a second program in Cooperstown with the State University of New York at Oneonta. Since its founding, the Cooperstown program has accepted 10 students each year into a three-year course of study towards a master of arts degree and certificate of advanced study in art conservation. In 1987, the Cooperstown program, needing larger facilities, relocated to Buffalo State College. This lecture event celebrates the work in conservation education at Cooperstown and Buffalo through the graduates of both programs working at the Library.

Heiner Holtappels, Director of Netherlands Media Art Institute Montevideo/ Time Based Arts, Amsterdam, talked about the work carried out by the institute, which has worked in the field of video art conservation since the 1970s. He pointed out the importance of the choice of format for the conservation of electronic archives: since 1989, the institute has used digital betacam to conserve video tapes, because it is the only format that does not entail a loss of information. Another aspect to be taken into account is the different versions of a single work that can be conserved in an archive. He also mentioned the need to keep a record of the conditions in which a work was originally exhibited, based on a questionnaire that includes questions on all possible aspects relating to the context of the work.
