At the Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s museum located in Fort Tryon Park in the Inwood section of Manhattan, art modeler Paolo Dionisi Vici has been preparing low-power sensors to make a 3D map of the Cloisters’ necessary climate conditions. With technical assistance from IBM, Vici, an associate research scientist for the Met, has deployed 120 low-power temperature and humidity sensors there since last June in order to determine the ideal environmental conditions for priceless wood works. According to Technology Review, Vici’s goal is to create more nuanced formulas based on how individual works react to changing conditions. His long-term plan is to use real-time sensor data, coupled with the art’s response, to improve art conservation.
