To merge digital making technologies with traditional ones is inspiring. “As a hybrid maker myself, I am always amazed and impressed at the wide range of creative methods that makers incorporate in their artwork. In the case of Hybrid craft, the focus is multi-directional as the new and traditional come together. Zoran explains that Hybrid Craft exhibition goes hand-in-hand with the overarching theme of SIGGRAPH 2015, Xroads of Discovery, which emphasizes the collaboration of individuals, interests, identities, disciplines and perspectives in arts, graphics and emerging technologies. The showcase emphasizes the importance of craft heritage in contemporary digital design, where beautiful and meaningful artifacts are produced by a machine and craft-person working together, not by a machine or craft-person alone,” Zoran shares.ĭr. “SIGGRAPH 2015 is the perfect setting for showing the 15 works of some of the great skilled makers and artists out there. He wishes to develop a new way of thinking about these polarities: the digital machine, as generator of control and efficacy, and the human hand, as preserver of subjective intentions and expressivity. Zoran explores the two divergent realms of emerging computational technologies and traditional hand-hewn skills. Specializing in digital signal processing, he previously worked 6 years as a DSP engineer and signal-process algorithms developer for companies in the Israeli high-tech industry. in Communication System Engineering from Ben-Gurion University, Israel. in product design from Bezalel, and a B.Sc. in Media Arts and Science from the MIT Media Lab, a M.Des. He is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Engineering and Computer Science at the Hebrew University. ![]() He created the theme “Hybrid Craft” as a venue for technology and craft to co-exist and be presented. Amit Zoran is a researcher, educator and the SIGGRAPH 2015 Art Gallery program chair. She represents all individuals, but women in particular, who understand the power and importance of simple gestures that assert their right to take up space.Dr. The woman is strong, beautiful and self-possessed. ![]() I wanted to create a monumental sculpture for the public that spoke to this simple joy. Taking a seat is a universal act of leisure and calm. The sculpture will be unveiled on Wednesday 5th October and will remain open until early 2023. A series of 25 smaller-scale editions of Seated also made by Factum Arte are available on. Its sitter – poised, immaculately dressed, glancing to her left – emboldens onlookers to sit with confidence and comfort. For the artist, in its escape from domestic space the chair becomes a stage. Placing the work in a public space cements these ideas. Standing 3 metres high, Seated uses an everyday object as an entry point for questions of permission and performance. Inner structure of the foot © Oak Taylor-Smith for Factum Arte The plinth was inspired by a small painted sculpture in possession of the artist. Details such as the dark outline painted over the maquette's shape had to be translated into a 3D visual, and the colour palette of the sculpture needed to be considered and matched to the patinated bronze. Mediating the 2D nature of Tschabalala's drawing into a physical three-dimensional piece also meant incorporating part of Tschabalala's visual language into the final result, and working side by side with the artist, her inspirations and previous works. After scanning the maquette using photogrammetry, a custom-made paint brush texture was created and mapped over the 3D model, which was scaled to the final size of 2,40m in height, and sent to Fademesa Foundry in Madrid for casting. The first 3D print was made at a smaller size (60cm-tall) and painted by the artist, with the aim of incorporating the painted traces left by the brush on the surface of the final bronze sculpture. The large bronze sculpture started from a drawing by the artist, who closely worked with Factum Arte's 3D sculptor Irene Gaumé to rematerialise it as a three-dimensional piece. As part of Avant Arte's public art programme, artist Tschabalala Self collaborated with Factum Arte on the creation of her first public work. ![]()
