JeanClaude Grieco · Linz, Austria · Working internationally
Digital heritage, immersive worlds & art.
I’m an interdisciplinary artist and creative technologist. With laser scanning, photogrammetry, Gaussian Splatting, XR and AI, I turn churches, castles, museums and objects into precise digital twins — and into experiences people can walk through, explore and remember.
- 300+3D scans of churches, castles, monuments and objects
- 1,000+ TBof reality-capture data: laser scans, photos, video and 3D
- 100+places scanned — from Gothic churches to castles and museums
- Awardsrecognized many times for art & technology — and much more to come
