![]() ![]() ![]() When it comes to 3D printing however, the medium itself is part of that provocation. ![]() No matter the medium an artist chooses to provoke that reaction, the desire for a reaction is the one thing they all have in common. It is personal and it is often emotional (for better or worse) and no two reactions will be exactly the same. But then I started to meet with and talk to some of the artists and began to understand that actually, this was a whole different world of hard core! MotivationĪrt appreciation is a subjective activity. Indeed, when it first started to happen, it was a welcome departure from the hard core industrial emphasis I had become accustomed to at the very beginning. Over the years I have been extremely fortunate to witness the work of some of the most prestigious artists and designers operating in the realms of 3D printing. Of course there is an intersection between art and design, one that 3D printing technologies actually promotes in many ways, and I am guilty of often confusing the two because of this. Or, to use a couple of borrowed Warhol and Einstein (respectively) quotes that I came across recently:Ĭreativity is intelligence having fun. In this regard, my loose criterion for what sets art aside from creative design (jewellery / architecture / fashion etc) is a lack of physical function. However, there is one discipline that continues to demonstrate its capabilities in the most captivating and eye-catching of ways whilst offering a wholly new medium for creativity - the art world.Īnd to clarify, here I am talking about art as a distinct subset of the creative industries and artists that are creating work as an expression of human imagination to be appreciated primarily for their beauty and/or emotional power. The application of 3D printing technologies across industrial sectors is unrelenting, and will likely continue for many decades as the ecosystem around it continues to improve and evolve. ![]()
