Foundlings Table

Foundlings

Some results of my explorations in the 3D jungle of 123D Catch. Aside processing photo's to 3D models, 123D Catch is also a platform where users can share their created 3D models. The platform seems to stimulate remixing each other work or improve it. Apparently babies are rather popular under the users. So here is a first attempt to remix them. 

PRICCAPractice

My recent work in progress 'Data Sets' is part of the group exhibition 'Photo's that research photo's. The exhibition is the first project of the new expertise centre about photography PRICCAPractice. PRICCAPractice stands for Photographic Research in Cross-disciplinary and Cross-cultural Artistic Practices. 

Data Sets is are 3D portraits of my grandmother and father. The portraits are created with photogrammetry algorithms that extract spatial data from a series of photo's of the same object. Today the technology becomes increasingly popular because of new cloud services such as 123D Catch and Recap. I am interested in the expressive and aesthetic properties of the these technologies, and to which extend they represent reality.

3D Print Survival Kit @ IWEEK

Last week I hosted a 3D printing workshop during the IWEEK at Art&Research Lab (MPLab) in Liepaja Latvia. The design challenge was to develop a survival kit that can be used within an environment or context, specified by the participants. The results where: The Ultimate Survival Kit, The Last Hope Survival Kit, and the Knuckle Tagger Survival Kit.

Participants: Lauris Galsons, Eltons Kūns, Tatiana Veselova, Kristine Kina, Santa France, Dana Rasnača, Niklavs Sekacs, Roelina Banga, Jeanine Leguit, Maaike Boonstra
