RasterWeb!
Didn’t I say something last year about 3D printing being the future? Well, it is. There’s even a guy printing chairs from old scrap appliances.
Double-points for using recycled materials and a robot. (Lots more cool stuff at the Milan Furniture Fair as well!) Check the video below to see the awesome in action.
DamCamp is coming up on Saturday, March 24th, 2012 in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin… and I’ll be there talking about Art Robots, machines that draw, and other various nerdy things.
So besides the Egg-Bot, I’ll also have the Friday Night Drawbot there, and talk about a number of other art robots I’ve seen, and would like to someday build.
There’s been so much intersection between art and technology lately (at least in the groups I’m involved with) that I’m really hoping for a lively discussion. Of course we’ll also have a fun demo too.
Since the event is being put on by Beaver Dam’s fledgling makerspace project, I thought printing a Make Magazine egg would be a good introduction to the magazine and blog for those who might not be familiar with it yet… :)

If I haven’t bugged you about it yet, I’ll be at The Tool at Hand Milwaukee Challenge with a piece I created using just one tool.
There’s a little background on it here, and a post about it here, and you can RSVP on Facebook.
But besides all that, it’s at Sweet Water Organics, 2151 S. Robinson Avenue in Milwaukee, from 1pm to 5pm on March 17th, 2012. I hope to see you there.
And here’s a sneak peek at my piece:
Update: Enough waiting… you can see it here: rasterweb.net/raster/projects/plasticsun/
Our own little Friday Night Drawbot got invited to City Hall!
(OK, well, that’s not exactly what happened, but that’s how I plan to tell the story…)
Milwaukee Makerspace took part in the first Art Jamboree held recently by the fine folks at Art Milwaukee, and while I couldn’t attend, the spunky little Friday Night Drawbot was able to make it, and he did his best to wow the crowd with his take on robotic art.
So here’s the deal… join us Friday, March 9th, 2012 at Milwaukee’s City Hall for the Art Jamboree, and if you’re lucky, you’ll walk away with art created by a Sharpie-wielding robot.
I’ll be there this time, and I hope to see you there as well.
