From an art science perspective, this is indeed interesting. I don’t think it’s particularly helpful, nor required, for appreciation of the subject matter. Very cool.
It allows to monitor the deterioration of paintings and to better understand potential risks. It’s a massively helpful tool for preservation efforts.
It’s a way to create a digital snapshot to preserve art even if the physical edition is lost. That’s important, in my opinion.
