Liselore Tissen is a Ph.D. researcher at Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society (LUCAS) – Faculty of Humanities – Leiden University and Materials In Art and Archaeology – Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering (3mE) at TU Delft. Her research combines new technology with the humanities and concerns the impact of 3D printing on the art (historical) field and the moral and ethical implications of this technology. Through this theoretical and philosophical framework, she explores 3D printing’s significance in ethical debates (e.g. restitution) and the (practical) applicability of the technology for contemporary artists, (technical) art historical research, and the conservation and (museum) presentation of art with a specific focus on paintings.
