| | | | | Handicapping the Horseraces |  Learn what is really going on in this fall's political races while supporting Santa Fe Complex in a special, three-part workshop on how you can be your own investigative reporter. Hosted by journalist and journalism professor Tom Johnson, the sessions will show you how to get ready for that special Tuesday in November by using the growing number of web-based tools available to the serious journalism and the ordinary citizen. <--more--> | | Schedule Change: Mixing Whiskey & Water, Again | This week's water resource blender has been rescheduled to October 15 to make way for the 3D scanning program described in this newsletter. Santa Fe Complex practitioners Paul Paryski and Kim Sorvig will be joined by RiverSource's Rich Schrader for an examination of the social and physical dynamics of water in the arid Southwest. More information will be posted soon. |  | Santa Fe Complex is located in the Railyard Art District within walking distance of the hotels, restaurants and shops at the plaza downtown. While there is parking at 624 Agua Fria, the Romero Street parking lot is more conveniently located for the 632 facility.
| | | | 3D Scanning for Historic & Cultural Studies |  | | A 3D scan of the Palace of the Governors | Three-dimensions are the rage in this fall's movie line-up. They're also increasingly important in historical, archeological and paleontological research, as we've seen in three prior blenders at Santa Fe Complex. We continue our series on Stereo-Computational Photography with an in-depth look at 3D laser scanning in modern research. Our look includes demonstration courtesy of Faro Technologies, a global leader in 3D scanning technology, and discussions on the use of 3D scanning for preservation. The blender will continue on Wednesday with follow-up work at the Fuller Lodge in Los Alamos and the ArtsLab at UNM. The blender begins at 6:00 at Santa Fe Complex, 632 Agua Fria St. (Parking via Romero Street.) A $5.00 donation is encouraged. Ralph Chapman (formerly of the Smithsonian and the Idaho Virtualization Laboratories) will introduce the speakers and say a few words about his own use of laser scanning in paleontology and virtualization of artifacts. Wednesday night's speakers include: - Paul Oberle of FARO Technologies who will demonstrate the use of their Photon 80/20 scanner including a presentation of a scan he will be taking at the Palace of the Governors earlier in the day.
- Tom Pederson, a local GIS expert, will describe his use of laser scanning technology for historical preservation.
- Tim Thomas (UNM/HPC) and Catherine Baudoin (Maxwell Museum) will speak briefly about their work in distributed digital archives for virtualized cultural artifacts.
- Patrick French will discuss the creation of 3D models of objects from photographs using readily available software.
The 3D work will continue on Thursday in Los Alamos and Albuquerque. From 10:00 am to noon, the discussion will continue at Fuller Lodge with archivists and preservationists from Los Alamos Historic Preservation Societyand the LANL museum The discussion continues with a demonstration of 3D scanning for staff at the UNM ARTS Lab in Albuquerque followed by a discussion with Kevin Cain, director of InsightDigital, the Institute for the Study and Integration of Graphical Heritage Techniques. Cain is collaborating with UNM and others on the Maya Skies project.

Bassara, a world traveler, artist, and ethno-musicologist, will play some of the simplest and most unusual instruments -- with exotic names like ecktar, birembaud, winged thing, kyi tzi, jaws a phone, breathe flute, bird flute and ker pe -- in this one-night performance. His performance is a prologue to the Occam's Razor show, which opens on October 18th. Bassara has collected, borrowed, modified, invented, designed, handcrafted or fabricated all the instruments he plays. He will be joined by several other musicians in concert as well as the artists whose work will be displayed in the actual show. The concert is free; a contribution of $5.00 is suggested.

|  Santa Fe Complex is located in the Railyard Art District within walking distance of the hotels, restaurants and shops at the plaza downtown. We're housed in two facilities, the project space at 624 Agua Fria and the work space at 632 Agua Fria. The conference area contains meeting rooms and facilities for short-term use associated with on-going sfComplex projects. The project space houses the great room, where we hold events and offer Internet access, working facilities, a coffee lounge and work carrels for laptop users. While there is parking at 624 Agua Fria, the Romero Street parking lot is more conveniently located for the 632 facility. Romero St. is an old-style Santa Fe ox-cart road just east of the 624 driveway. Follow it until it opens up to two lanes and turn hard right into the parking lot for 632. Here's a map to our location, a representative shot showing the Railyard District and a sketchup drawing of the facility at 632. For more information, call 505/216.7562 or click here. | Don Begley
