MakerBot in art — Adri Schokker’s “Reconstruction of a Catastrophe”
Here’s something a bit different: a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic features prominently in Adri Schokker’s installation “Reconstruction of a Catastrophe.” As you can see in this video, the the Thing-O-Matic is used in conjunction with a novel video interface to create human figures for the installation.
The piece deals with the human connection to disastrous events; it uses the MakerBot-created items to actually place the viewer in the recreated scene. The piece is not graphic, but the relationship it creates to the piece is an uncomfortable one for the viewer; it’s a bit darker than most of the projects we share here, so use your judgment before showing it to younger people. That said, this is an innovative and thoughtful piece of art; we’re glad that a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic helped in its creation.

Wow, that’s a really thought provoking art installation. A bit morbid, but I like it. It’s great to see the things people can do with quick 3D printing.
