REZ/FAB/REV is a proposal by Building w/immaterials for projects “which combine an installation dimension and a virtual dimension” for LABoral, an “exhibition center for art, science, technology and advanced visual industries… a venue for artistic and technological production, research …
REZ: To rez, in the context of contemporary 3-D multi-user environments, is to create or to make an object appear. Rezzing an object (or prim, short for primitive object) can be done by dragging a pre-existing object from a database …
FAB: Digital FABrication is the production of material objects from a 3-dimensional digital model. The formal properties of the model (geometric, material, spatial…) will be used to describe and fabricate the sculptural object and articulate the installation space. The installation’s …
REV: The DINI d_shape 3-D printer is installed in gallery space. The object’s form is cast layer by successive layer from the bottom (or foundation) upwards, its complex geometry slowly REVealed over the time of the object’s fabrication (about 21 …
REZ/FAB/REV is REZzing a complex digital model and FABricating it through the accumulation of successive material layers, a process through which its meaning can be REVealed. The REZ/FAB/REV Mixed Reality infrastructure is a computational machine for the synthesis of project …
Another metaphor used to characterize REZ/FAB/REV is stratification, describing the additive sculptural process of the project’s material artefact. During the fabrication process, successive layers of material (1mm thick) are being drawn while previous layers are being printed. The …
