ABSTRACT
Data materialization is a workflow developed to create 3D objects from data-informed designs. Building upon traditional metalwork and craft, and new technology's data visualization with generative art, this workflow expresses conceptually relevant data through 3D forms which are fabricated in traditional media. The process allows for the subtle application of data in visual art, allowing the aesthetic allure of the art object or installation to inspire intellectual intrigue. This paper describes the technical and creative process of Modern Dowry, a silver-plated 3D-print teapot on view at the Museum of the City of New York, June 2017--June 2018.

Materialization of interactive stereoscopic artwork based on hand-painted images
This paper presents interactive stereoscopic artwork and an algorithm for natural artistic expression using hand-painted images expressed by the artist's manual brush strokes. The system proposes a new interactive method that allows a viewer to ...
