Meet Adam Lowe, the mastermind behind Factomate, an innovative workshop where artists and technicians combine forces to recreate and conserve some of the world’s most valued works of art using a unique mix of age-old skills and cutting-edge technology.

In the past decade alone, Lowe’s team has completed numerous large-scale projects, one of the most exceptional being the recreation of the Tomb of Tutankhamun. This was an unprecedented venture, as it was the highest resolution, three-dimensional reproduction of such a large-scale historical artifact ever attempted. This exact facsimile can now be found in Cairo, awaiting imminent installation beside Howard Carter’s house, marking the entrance to the revered Valley of the Kings.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg for Factomate. The team utilizes advanced scanning technology, capable of applications never before seen in the art conservation sector. Skeptics may find it hard to believe, but, as Lowe humorously admits, even he finds it hard to believe the incredible projects his team is working on some days.

Lowe has a vision. He sees a future where technology isn’t the harbinger of destruction but the savior of our cultural heritage. The methods and applications might be complex, but the results are clear for all to see.

In a world where art preservation often means locking away pieces in climate-controlled rooms, Adam Lowe’s Factomate is redefining the term by making artworks accessible, and more importantly, sustainable. And he’s only just getting started.
