[ONLINE WORKSHOP] Digital Craftsmanship - 3D Printing, Scanning and Modeling
As part of the exhibition Metamorphosis or Confrontation, the artist Tobias Klein will host a series of workshops with a focus on 3D scanning and printing. Participants will be given scanned data from a series of Ceramic artifacts from the Museum collection, digitally alter and design the scanned forms, and then 3D print the results.
The Workshop – Digital Craftsmanship – will allow individuals to investigate motifs, contemporary forms, and 3D printable ornaments based on 3D scans of the museum's ceramic artifacts. The discussion will be based around the scanned data, with a focus on critical issues of contemporary design, including artificial biology, generative design, hybrid forms, and narratives.
Participants will use photogrammetry-based methods to create 3D models that explore the full digital manufacturing process, translating the values, concepts, and ideas of each object into a contemporary 3D printed form.

Artist: Tobias Klein
Born in Bonn, Germany, Tobias Klein is a German Artist/Architect. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong.
Klein’s combined artistic and architectural works construct the emerging practice of Digital Craftsmanship, through which he has established an operational synthesis of digital and physical materials and tools as poetic (Poïesis) and technical (Technê) expressions. Klein’s works are based on the use of contemporary CAD/CAM technologies with site and culturally specific narratives, intuitive non-linear design processes, and historical cultural references.
His work has been exhibited internationally at the London Science Museum, the V&A, the Venice Architectural Biennale, the Science Gallery (Melbourne), the container (Tokyo), the Bellevue Arts Museum, the MoCA Taipei, and the Museum of Moscow and Museum of Vancouver. His works are also found in the permanent collection of China’s first 3D Print Museum in Shanghai, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma (USA), and the Antwerp Fashion Museum (MoMu).
