Over & Over Again

Over & Over Again

July 22 – September 4; Reception: August 31, 5 pm – 7:30 pm. The first documented iterations of 3D printing trace back to the early 1980s, but the first practice of building through placing line on top of line is found in ceramic’s coil building technique as early as 6000 BC. Through new digital technologies artists and manufacturers can model objects in software programs. Then by using g-code, conducting test prints, and adjusting calibration settings they print objects by depositing layer on top of layer until the form is complete. Over & Over Again brings together 3D printed works by PSU Faculty Jose Pinto Duarte, Tom Lauerman, Shadi Nazarian, and Rebecca Strzelec and Center for Innovative Materials Processing through Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3D). The works on view highlight their commitment to working in innovative technologies, encountering new possibilities, and reimagining objects.
