The Other Nefertiti(2015)
Summary
The Other Nefertiti is an art project that clandestinely scanned the Nefertiti bust with a hacked Kinect, releasing 3D data under CC BY-SA 4.0 and staging exhibitions to critique museum practices and neocolonial heritage narratives. The project sparked widespread remixes and discussions about open data, cultural ownership, and the role of institutions in representing artifacts.
