It is a strange materialisation.
Harry Halen thinks he underwent a "tantric materialisation ritual" while in Tibet, and travelled to Russia in the guise of a tobacco merchant at the invitation of Anton Chekhov.
To avoid redundant computations in such analyses a simplified materialisation mechanism is implemented.
After digitally reconstructing the painting based on available photographic evidence, the team worked towards a "re-materialisation" of the work: On a canvas coated with animal glue, pigment, and calcium carbonate (the type of ground Caravaggio would have used), the painting was digitally printed in several layers, retouched by hand to add texture, then stretched, varnished, and hung in its frame.
Butler answers such questions by giving an account of the materiality of the body in terms of a process of materialisation.

"'Brexit' marks the materialisation of an important downside risk to global growth," IMF staff said in a report, adding that as it was "still very much unfolding, more negative outcomes are a distinct possibility".
Adopting this methodology implies three steps: (i) generating the geometry of the product from the performance criteria; (ii) selecting a process that can simplify the materialisation; and (iii) designing the product accordingly.
But it doesn't mean its materialisation does not betray a truth.
The architecture and equipment of a hospital, the design of a wheelchair, the genetic code of a virus, the composition of a vaccine, the infrastructure for reaching patients: they are materialisations of a specific way of doing and embody a specific institutional (or social) code or script [ 38, 39].
