It’s both parametrically intense and oddly invigorating to look at. It’s like jumping in the air through a small hole and coming out on the other side with all the knowledge of perspective while marching rhythmically outside the confines of an inverted parallelogram.
What is it? Surrealism. An artistic expression of the early 1900’s that captured the fantasy of la-la-la reality and spread it like thick butter on minds across the world.
Defining it as an offshoot of Marxism and Freudian thought limits and ultimately destroys the passions many of the artist were trying to capture…
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I really want to show you is some of the coolest examples and the paintings that inspire me. They magnify the field of 3D CAD we’re in, in a way that even some artists could not imagine in their art.

Lena Gieseke has taken Picasso Guernica and transformed it into a version of the painting that will leave you deeply immersed in the canvas of the Cubist master, Picasso.
Guernica has got to be incredible to see up close (it’s currently at the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain), But when you look at it broken into all it’s little bits and pan around it like you’re actually there, you come away with an intense visual of what Picasso was sensing as he made each brush stroke.

I’m loving what Steven Kempton, from the Ponoko Blog, and his new band of writers (David, Duann, Roy, and Indigo) are putting out. They look at all the different aspects that surround manufacturing, art and design.
David posted an item I recognized, the Demakersvan Cinderella table, but hadn’t given much thought to in the past. Once you realized it’s a creation of CAD and CNC, you either think, that’s impossible, or dang… what else could I make.
The Cinderella table, featured in a MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) Exhibit a couple years ago, is an artistic approach to what is possible with CAD and CNC. This table was created from sketches of furniture scanned, turned into 3D geometry and cut from 57 layers of birch plywood. When you see the 360 view at the Demakersvan site you’ll understand the complexity… but also an amazing simplicity.
