Research Abstract

This research focuses on sculptural art made with digital modeling and fabrication techniques, realizing forms which are impossible by manual sculpting processes. The research goal is to push the boundary of the domain of sculpture as an artistic medium. Digital modeling and fabrication is an emerging area of study. Research motivation tends to be engineering-oriented rather than enriching aesthetic quality. It is essential for artists, too, to take a control on these technologies so that we can establish our own fabrication as well as expression. Also, 3D model data transaction is detached from geographic constraints. Digital sculptural art can easily be printed and demonstrated abroad. The global nature of data is expected to provide new channel of expressions for artists.
