	The Digital Michelangelo Project
		During this period of intense activity we scanned 10 statues: the David, the four Unfinished Slaves, and St. Matthew, all located in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, the four allegorical statues (Night, Day, Dawn, and Dusk) in the Medici Chapels, also in Florence, and the architectural settings of both museums.
		For everybody, the project involved long hours - our scan of the David was done only at night - and unusual talents, like strength - the gantry weighed 1800 pounds, and it had to be erected each time we moved to a different museum.
		Regarding specific "news events", if you're interested in our discovery that the David is 3 feet taller than history books say he is, we talk about it here and here.
