OUGD601 / COP3 / Practical Projects that Relate to Essay

'Woodpecker' by Those Studio



Amazingly, I found out about this great project the night after producing my first computer controlled drawing! A fantastic example of a fully fledged and thought out project that uses computer controlled drawing for a more commercial purpose.

Those is proud to present the Woodpecker, a unique drawing system that brings any surface to life. The Woodpecker draws, writes and even tweets with pens, pencil and paint.

Those sell it not as an art piece but as an instillation that companies can use to '#stoptraffic'. Generally not a fan of marketing ploys such as this but I can see the appeal of linking this up to a computer which can live draw what you're drawing on screen...
Unseen Art: experiencing art for the first time - Indiegogo



A really nice, socially conscious project that aims to give the blind a way of experiencing fine art through the production of tangible 3D prints using textured printing materials.

'There are many people in the world who have heard of classical artworks their whole lives but are unable to see them.'

A project that shows the versatility and social good that 3D printing can be used for with the right concept and thought behind it.
