A short video about the Exquisite Corpse show that prompted the Venus of Google. I’ve never been so myself during an interview, makes me laugh.

The show will be on until Friday, in Farringdon, London. Details here.

Printer jam

For those following my story you may have noticed recent tensions with the 3D print service I use. Well today was a bad day, they cancelled my new projects too, also for ‘IP reasons’, meaning either they are being over-cautious or ignorant when it comes to 3D scanning and remixing artefacts. The service was truly disappointing as they processed my payments and yet never notified me about these decisions until I started chasing my orders 3 weeks later. However the real issue is this…

5.1. Future Oriented but Past Positive

I’m going to propose the concept of a Future Oriented/Past Positive culture. It’s a little wordy and rough around the edges so feel free to ignore it or destroy me with your superior intellect. I’m only the artist, not the theorist.

Sampling and remixing objects

Makerbot have kindly published my views on object sampling here. In summary I see a future in popularising a design approach of making variations, iterations and mash-ups of existing objects by combining 3D scanning, computational ‘remixing’ and 3D printing.
