The show highlights work by Shapeways community member Ashley Zelinskie. Zelinskie creates <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashleyzelinskie.com\/\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.ashleyzelinskie.com\/\">sculpture<\/a> which are made of numbers drawn from the code of the design file itself. Her work explores the process by which the objects are transformed from numerical data into physical objects through digital fabrication. The code that defines and creates the object becomes part of its physical manifestation\u2026<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1600\/1*_pGj3DixmBImxcAl_HWWdA.gif\" alt=\"\" data-image-id=\"1*_pGj3DixmBImxcAl_HWWdA.gif\" data-width=\"350\" data-height=\"233\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u2026its a pretty mind-blowing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashleyzelinskie.com\/about\/\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.ashleyzelinskie.com\/about\/\">concept<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1200\/1*RbMTQpN-vROGeeBnskGVXw.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"478\" data-image-id=\"1*RbMTQpN-vROGeeBnskGVXw.jpeg\" data-width=\"2048\" data-height=\"1361\" data-action=\"zoom\" data-action-value=\"1*RbMTQpN-vROGeeBnskGVXw.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The show itself is an immersive experience bringing viewers into the brackish waters of technology and art. Sparse, geometric objects ranging from monumental to palm-sized are displayed throughout the space, while nearly every inch of wall is used for a projected video that loops geometric imagery as it builds to a frantic pace and glitches out into nothingness. On the second story loft area a small 3D printer farm reproduces miniatures of the work.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1200\/1*e96aOg3NrQZiC-9IGacrrA.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"478\" data-image-id=\"1*e96aOg3NrQZiC-9IGacrrA.jpeg\" data-width=\"2048\" data-height=\"1360\" data-action=\"zoom\" data-action-value=\"1*e96aOg3NrQZiC-9IGacrrA.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Faces made of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/archives\/43049-nylon-12-3d-printing-material-versatile-plastic.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D printed plastic<\/a> are part of the show\u2019s vocabulary as well.
