No / ‘Project code-named Humpty’ is a performative art piece involving the creation, fragmentation, and reconstruction of a 2.7 m high classically inspired sculpture. It was conceived to complement an archaeological science research project setting out to explore the use of digital scanning technologies in artefact reconstruction. The statue’s form was free sculpted in clay over a period of four years. It was cast in a self-supporting cementitious material specifically for the purpose of ceremonial fragmentation and subsequent reconstruction by archaeologists. In this chapter, we explore the project’s human/machine intentions, interactions, development processes and their wider implications leading to fragmentation. We explore how 3D terrestrial laser scanning with photogrammetry was used to chart the creation of the sculptural form and how scans informed finite element analysis, essential for safe casting and fragmentation. We show how structured light scanning was essential to create a digital backup of the mould and how drone imagery documented fragmentation tests and 360° imaging recorded studio and quarry activity. / We are very grateful to AHRC, the Arts and Humani[es Research Council who in 2017 awarded follow-on funding to support ‘Project code-named Humpty’ (AH/R004846/1), linked to the AHRC Digital Transformations Theme Large Grant ‘Fragmented Heritage’ (AH/L00688X/1).

The wastewater- and sewage distribution network is a critical aspect for maintaining a socialandenvironmental well-being. However, in the latest time, many failures (such as leakages) haveoccurred due to poor conditions in the wastewater-infrastructure, causing several consequencessuch as damage to the environment or pose health hazards to the public. This study is dividedinto three parts. Part one compares five different sewage inspection technologies: Closed-CircuitTelevision (CCTV), Zoom Cameras, Digital Scanning, SONAR and Electro Scanning with thepurpose of identifying a new system that Stockholm Vatten & Avfall (SVOA) should considerimplementing. Part two goes through the inspection procedure that SVOA applies, andrecommendations are concluded as to how the process can be optimized. Part three coversessential aspects that should be taken into account before investing in a new technology. Theresearch methodology involves collecting data from literature, internal reports from SVOA, andconducting interviews with supervisors and field workers. The main finding is that SVOA shouldcontinue with the current approach that the utility is using because the current data found in thecurrent literature is too insufficient and not too strong which makes it not convincing to investinto a new technology. On the other hand, the collected data about the technologies can beconsidered whenever the approach is moving towards a proactive approach.
