The Faculty of Creative Industries has collaborated with the Macao Museum of Art and the British Museum for the exhibition “Italian Renaissance Drawings from the British Museum” that officially opened on Thursday, the 11th of April, and will run until the 30th of June.

The University of Saint Joseph was thrilled with this opportunity to be part of this innovative and ambitious project, as well as, honoured to work “alongside” artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Raffaello or Michelangelo to list just a few of them! Our collaboration work is not comparable with the work of The Italian Masters, and we merely hope to open new perspectives on art in museums and offer a different experience to its visitors.

An experience that disrupts the traditional way of visiting a museum. An experience that immerses and permits the visitor a tangible and accessible involvement with part of the exhibition.

Museums around the world have always been open to new technological experimentations and avid of new ways to enrich and showcase their artworks and collections to a new public. It is often an opportunity to look with a different eye, to discover new artistic connections and to experience an artwork like never before.

We see our work presented as the first step in a new type of experimentation, that will teach us and lead us further to new possibles, particularly in the area of universal access and accessibility. Indeed, like any other social organisation, museums have a significant challenge to transform themselves to be more inclusive, and we hope to participate in discussion with this experiment and research.

From the very beginning, we agreed on a few rules that we have been trying to respect along with our work:

1. we selected 16 drawings from the British Museum exhibition and we worked on representing them as a physical and tangible object;
2. we wanted, as much as possible, visitors to be able to touch the exhibits, as a symbol, to make the exhibits accessible and;
3. allow universal accessibility, mainly by trying to give a new experience of the exhibition to visually impaired visitors;
4. all exhibits would be produced in Macao with technologies that are currently available in our Digital Fabrication Laboratory of our Faculty of Creative Industries and the support of some of our students.

To give a few numbers to represent the work, we spend more than 2,000 hours of machine time and more than 600 working hours.

For all exhibits, we have been using two essential techniques, namely 3D Printing and Laser cutting and we follow a similar workflow for each piece:

1. cleaning the original image of the drawing (removing the background, outlining, enhancing, etc...);
2. transforming the drawing into a new image or a 3D model that can be processed by our machines;
3. multiple tests usually take place before producing the final exhibits with the machine;
4. post-processing the exhibits: we mainly use standard woodworking post-processing such as sanding, priming, painting and varnishing.

The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) held its annual "USJ Career Day 2019" on April 11th 2019 (Thursday) at USJ’s Ilha Verde Campus. Around 50 companies and organisations from public and private sectors joined the event and exhibited. This year, in alignment with the role of Macao in the Framework Agreement on Deepening Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Cooperation in the Development of the Greater Bay Area, Mr. Tai Kin Ip, Director of Macao Economic Bureau, was invited to be the keynote speaker, presenting the topic "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Macao’s Economic Diversification” with the hope that university students are able to seize opportunities in the further development of the Greater Bay Area.

In addition, a Hengin InnoValley representative was invited to introduce the Policies and Incubator Services in Hengqin to prepare our students for the starting up of their own businesses. Besides focusing on the Greater Bay Area, talks on local opportunities and career advice were provided.

The Career Day is a significant institutional event that brings to USJ representatives from the Government and different organisations, helping our students deepen their understanding of the working world. Exhibitors included, among others, government departments, public corporations, large enterprises and international brands.

“Paper Conservation - The Application of Manual Dripping Method with Paper Pulp”

The manual dripping method with paper pulp is a kind of filling technique for conserving paper objects. Compared with the traditional paper repair method, this method is more suitable for conserving objects which have been seriously damaged and/or with lots of insect holes. Efficiency, flatness and reduced use of paste are part of this method’s benefits.

This lecture will introduce the development and application of the pulp repair technique in Mainland China and foreign countries. Additionally, the lecture will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of four different repair methods, namely, traditional paper repair method, paper pulp manual dripping method, semi-mechanical pulp repair method and leaf-casting method.

 

“Introduction to Heritage Conservation Science”

 We hear words like culture, heritage, conservation, restoration, etc., every day, but do we fully understand their meaning? An explanation of these terms is shared with the audience throughout this lecture. The lecture mainly outlines what culture, cultural heritage, and tangible and intangible cultural heritage are; how to preserve them; and introduces the types of conservation in different museums. Finally, the daily workload of an object conservator will be discussed. 

The purpose is to provide Macao citizens with a preliminary understanding of the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage, hopefully increasing the public’s awareness and interest in cultural heritage as a means to achieve sustainable development.

 

“Paper Splitting - Its Development, Technique and Application”

Paper splitting involves splitting the paper into two layers and adding a thin piece of acid-free paper in between to create a “sandwich” structure. This method is especially suitable for severely deteriorated paper. The advantage of using this method is that it does not affect the object’s appearance and fragile paper objects can be well conserved. Paper splitting is often used to conserve and reinforce archives and rare books that are severely embrittled, such as old newspapers.  

There are two types of paper splitting methods: machine splitting and manual splitting. The principle of these two methods are similar and the only difference is that manual splitting must be done by a skilled person. Because of a high risk of irreversible damaging the original paper object, conservation ethics of the paper splitting will be discussed.

In past years, students and professors have been invited by the Macao Institute of Financial Services to participate in the annual Global Money Week. This year, on March 28, students of School of Business and Law were invited to visit the Monetary Authority of Macao (AMCM).

Students of the Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Government Studies had learned about the monetary system and the role of the central bank in Prof. Florence Lei’s Macroeconomics class. Thus, the presentation given by AMCM staff and their interaction with the students during the Q&A session broadened and deepened students’ financial knowledge.

On March 21st 2019, 11 participants from the Institute of Science and Environment (ISE) and Office for Student and Alumni Affairs (OSAA) representatives took part in a seminar by Executives from the Sands Sustainability Department in The Parisian Macao.

Participants were able to discuss sustainability issues directly with the executives and learn sustainable practices by Sands (China) such as ECO360 and Green Monday.

They also learned about energy and water saving strategies that have guaranteed several accreditations and certifications to Sands' hotels (Macao Green Hotel Award, LEED Silver certificate, among others).

After the seminar, participants visited their recycling facilities, and observed the function of a food digester machine that converts food waste into non-potable water, which can then be disposed via the sewers.
