Binary

My first print (2018).
It's not pretty to look at, but for me it's a symbolic placeholder for meaning and value. Humble beginnings. Effort. Failure. Progress. If I were to produce something of this quality today, I would no doubt feel great disappointment. But upon completing this print in 2018, I only recall feelings of achievement and satisfaction at having reached a goal - printing clay - that only a few months prior had seemed totally out of reach. So despite the massive explosion of compressed air that came through the nozzle at the end of the print, this was seen as nothing less than complete and total success.
Success is hard work, and set-backs are a constant presence. So it's nice to keep reminders of past milestones to help you measure the progress that is happening (even if you don't always see it).

Very excited to announce a collaboration between and in sponsoring the fall 2020 course, instructed by , in the program at the University of Utah. Over the course of 15 weeks, students will be introduced to a process of exploring digital technology and scholarship in design and making, with a special focus on material experiments in recycled plastics and large-format 3d printing, using binary’s studio space and the machines produced by Filabot and Massive Dimension. Stay tuned for weekly updates as the students progress through an exciting semester of material, form and design experimentation!

Simple shot of some fun ...
