Following the moderators' kind invitation to share a word on current personal projects, here it goes:</div><div><br></div><div>APPROXIMATELY 800cm3 OF PLA is an exhibition of all-you-can-print with a single spool of biodegradable plastic. Virtual objects are being selected from an online open call and produced daily, with a standard amount of material each. The resulting collection is a tentative snapshot of the current 3D modelling & acquisition state-of-the-art, which brings together the visual arts, DIY communities, and high-precision modelling practices.</div><div><br></div><div><div>The project started as a pavilion/embassy in The Wrong (Again) digital biennale, and will be continuing for the following weeks. In the next days, we should be making pieces by Vincent Charlebois, Katherine Farley, Jesper Carlsen, Brit Bunkley, Vincent Scheers, Joseph Flynn, Javier Fresneda, Incandescent Square, Kearra Amaya Gopee, Satu-Minna Suorajarvi, Victor Mucelini, Herbert Baioco, Damiano Crotti & MORE.</div></div><div><br></div><div>The exhibition is contingent to available resources; it will be running only until our spool of yellow PLA lasts. Pieces are on display at the Baile project space, in the city of Vitória/Brazil. If you want to check it out, visit us at Baile or connect to *<a href="http://800cm3.com" target="_blank">800cm3.com</a>*.</div><div><br></div><div>New model contributions are most welcome!
