An expert on Leonardo DaVinci, he conducts an experiment, to reproduce one of Leonardo’s drawings pf St. Peter’s Basilica as a three-dimensional object, at UCLA’s CAD/CAM lab, the Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing Laboratory. Also a computer manipulation of Leonardo’s drawing of the Vitruvian Man, and a color restoration of the Mona Lisa by computer. Italian photographer Elisa Leonelli was given the assignment of documenting these experiments and all the people involved.
