Over the course of the semester, students will dive into the digital environment, investigating new ways to create three dimensional forms. This course section will focus on the 3D printed object, and explore the possibilities that this new technology allows. An examination of various 3D software tools and the associated output devices that make virtual creations become physically real will be undertaken. These tools will supplement current processes and allow us control form in ways not previously possible. We will dive into these new capabilities through the lens of the artist. How does this new technology shape the artist studio now, and how will it shape it in the future? How do others use these tools and how do they mesh with other creative processes and media? We will continue the dialog of how the artist intersects with new technology and examine the current state as well as ways in which it will become more relevant to the making practice in the future. Throughout the semester, we will move between the digital and physical, making space in an effort to meld these technologies into brand new objects that have their origins in both the digital and physical.
