Scott Purdy
The Arc/k Project Director of Operations
Los Angeles
After seeing firsthand the amazing possibilities of photogrammetry, Scott has been honored to see The Arc/k Project grow as the need to preserve culture takes on an even more urgent tone. As the Director of Operations at Arc/k, he relishes the challenge of using his knowhow to bring together technology and people to help further the cause of digital cultural preservation. Scott majored in Anatomy/Physiology, graduating with a BS from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Transitioning to a more creative field, he began his career in post-production for film in 2003. Since then, he has collaborated with directors, producers, cinematographers and others on a wide range of projects. By working closely with such talented artists and technologists, he was encouraged to see the potential of digital cultural imaging as a cause for good.
Scott is interested in talking about all aspects of digital cultural preservation, but in particular photogrammetry, citizen-scientist based initiatives, and emergency archiving.
