Materializing the Postdigital
Opening at New York's Museum of Arts & Design on October 16th, Out Of Hand: Materializing the Postdigital explores the impact of computer-assisted methods and techniques of production, bringing together over 120 digitally fabricated works spanning contemporary art, architecture, design, and fashion.
All of the works on display were created during the past decade and each one is at the cutting-edge in their respective fields, with respect to their use of digital technologies, fabrication methods, and materials.
The works are conceptually organized into 6 themes—Modeling Nature, Remixing the Figure, New Geometries, Pattern as Structure, Processuality, and Rebooting Revivals—providing a framework through which to access the works, and also to highlight the range and diversity we're talking about now when we discuss digital fabrication.
The museum will also be hosting a number of interactive elements, including 3D printers and modeling software, allowing visitors to get a little hands on with the technologies featured in the show, along with designers-in-residence working in the gallery to demonstrating the various digital techniques and fabrication tools used to create the works on display.
Looks amazing, right!
