Digital technology is usually seen as blazing a trail to the future, but in some cases it's being used to re-create the past. Bold, yet graceful strokes of red, black and yellow give the sense of a herd in motion.
Animals charge across the ceiling, shake their manes, raise their tails or lay crouched.
Still cryptic symbols intermingle with the animals, and in one corner two handprints seem to reach across the millennia. These vibrantly impressionistic pieces are masterfully crafted onto the curves and texture of the cave, giving the animals volume and musculature. The entire ceiling glistens as if the paintings were made yesterday. Relatively speaking, they were. Aside from knowing that these paintings weren't the ones done 14,000 years ago, they're nearly indistinguishable from the originals.
