Phoebe Hui: The Moon Is Leaving Us | 3D Printed Drawbot | Tai Kwun
We helped artist Phoebe Hui 3D print moon-textured parts for her Selena drawbot on display in The Moon Is Leaving Us exhibition commissioned by Audemars Piguet and curated by Ying Kwok. The exhibition is now on at Tai Kwun in the Duplex Studio from 25 April - 23 May 2021.
MetaObjects assisted with 3D modelling and applying a moon texture to the parts to ensure they would be functional. The parts were then printed using a multijet fusion powder printing process in charcoal black (the true colour of the moon). The exhibition explores representations of the moon through polarised lenses and a large-scale installation called Selenite, providing a poetic reflection on the fact the moon is actually moving (however very slowly) away from the Earth.
