Highlights

• Such a privilige to play the role in amazing The Invisible Revealed Exhibition at the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS), which is open from 26 November 2021 to 22 May 2022. “The Invisible Revealed is the result of an ongoing multidisciplinary partnership between ANSTO and the Powerhouse Museum. This exhibition team was led by Scientist Joseph Bevitt, Curator Deborah Lawler-Dormer and Lead Engineer Tomasz Bednarz”. The exhibition also features digital 3D models of some of the collection objects and a digital reconstruction of the missing portions of a fragmentary carpet done with Artificial Intelligence. These portions were completed by with our EPICentre at UNSW.
