Andy Warhol Challenge: the finalists!
After much consideration we can finally announce the five finalists of the Andy Warhol Challenge. Their work will be showcased in the Andy Warhol Museum on the opening night of RAPID 2013 in Pittsburgh. Murray Moss gives his comments on every entry.
Speaking into the microphone by Luigi Vaghi:
Murray Moss: “This is an interesting take on another artist’s iconic work: Renato Bertelli‘s 1933 ‘continuous profile’, in ceramic, of the infamous Benito Mussolini.”
“The artist here creates a ‘continuous profile’ – this time, that of the infamous Andy Warhol. But in this case, registering the name ‘Andy Warhol’ with a microphone in a computer, a curve was created which was isolated and then used to generate the 3D printed model. Different people speaking the same two words, ‘Andy Warhol’, would create different curves, and therefore unique, one-of-a-kind ‘profiles’.”
“I like the fact that this process infuses a ‘portrait’ of Warhol with the characteristics of each individual maker

Check out the winners of the Valentine Challenge

ABOUT THE CHALLENGE
A few more months and Valentine will enter our houses. It’s that time of the year that you think -maybe a little bit more- about your loved ones and at i.materialise we love romance so much – we must admit, it’s a little embarrassing- that we want to organize a Valentine Challenge! Of course all you need is love on a Valentine’s Day, but a little jewel now and then doesn’t hurt, right? So start designing a jewel (ring, brooch …) for your loved one and surprise him or her! You can choose between two materials, silver and high detailed stainless steel, in the end there will be two winners: one for high detailed stainless steel and one for silver.
RULES
Participants need to upload their file here. You can find more information about the file formats in our FAQs under ‘website’. The material for this challenge is high detailed stainless steel and silver. Make sure you read the design guidelines to make your jewel 3D printable.
There are limits on the size

We were so happy with all the entries that we decided to choose two more winners. The second place is for the most clever design (full of moving parts) with the second most likes on facebook: Jolien Rasschaert! Her design got 35 votes and is inspired by leafs. She didn’t make it easy for herself by designing different moveable parts.
The third design is very heartwarming. It’s a small winte
