Driven to produce new spatial sensations using technology as an artistic medium of expression, Turkish artist Ya\u011fmur Uyan\u0131k created a 3D printed sandstone sculpture of a hybrid character. Made by fusing the digital models of two original sculptures at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishmuseum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">British Museum<\/a>, the work, titled \u201cSelfmaking: layers of becoming with,\u201d is an innovative combination of influential historical figures Alexander III of Macedon (commonly known as Alexander the Great) and Pericles of ancient Greece.<\/p>\n<p>Originally showcased digitally throughout July 2020 during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.furtherfield.org\/translocal-cooperation-exhibition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>TransLocal Cooperation<\/i><\/a> exhibit at London\u2019s oldest art and technology center, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.furtherfield.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Furtherfield Gallery<\/a>, Uyanik\u2019s sculpture is sublimely eyecatching, particularly as the delicate and fragile sandstone gives the work an ephemeral quality. In fact, the artist chose sandstone for this 3D printed object, instead of the more commonly used plastics, to emphasize the mutability and temporality of the piece. With time, she expects this sculpture will lose its details, form, and even meaning.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179297\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-179297\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pasted-into-Turkish-Artist-Melds-Historic-Figures-with-3D-Printed-Sandstone-Sculpture.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pasted-into-Turkish-Artist-Melds-Historic-Figures-with-3D-Printed-Sandstone-Sculpture.png 1600w, https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pasted-into-Turkish-Artist-Melds-Historic-Figures-with-3D-Printed-Sandstone-Sculpture-1536x1020.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ya\u011fmur Uyan\u0131k and her 3D printed sandstone sculpture of a hybrid character.

(Images courtesy of British Museum)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAfter I completed the digital process in software, I sent the final model of the art piece to a manufacturer in Athens, Greece, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dhub.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D Hub<\/a>, who works with binder jetting technology and sandstone material,\u201d Uyanik told <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3DPrint.com<\/a>. \u201cSandstone is a delicate material, which is why I chose to work with it, but it wasn\u2019t difficult in terms of printing. I was happy with the result and the amount of detail that came through in the print.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The work originated during Uyan\u0131k\u2019s artist residency in Athens in 2019, stemming from the cultural and artistic representations so characteristic of the country\u2019s heritage. At the time she hoped it would act as \u201ca signifier without excessive concern for realism, focusing on how creation, circulation, and preservation of cultural information underlie geographical contexts, patterns of displacement, and statelessness.\u201d Overall, the work reflects on how \u201cindividual narrative and collective memory are shaped through the cultural property, cultural currency, and their inherent symbolic meanings.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179300\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179300\" style=\"width: 1222px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-179300 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pasted-into-Turkish-Artist-Melds-Historic-Figures-with-3D-Printed-Sandstone-Sculpture-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1222\" height=\"813\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cSelfmaking: layers of becoming with,\u201d a 3D printed sculpture combining historical figures Alexander the Great and Pericles. (Image courtesy of Ya\u011fmur Uyan\u0131k)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 3D sculpture uses two significant identities as a metaphor with enough visual legitimacy and an aura of authenticity. Uyanik described \u201cSelfmaking\u201d as manifesting a self-portrait that no longer shows a self, but instead, different representations derived from cultural code, what she calls \u201can infinite creation of hybridity everywhere, all the time.\u201d The piece proposes a reflection on the transcendence of the body into digital space and how that alters the role of identity within shifting environments and localities.<\/p>\n<p>Driven by spatial thinking, her aspiration is to reexamine the new aesthetic, technique, and dynamic perception of space and produce new spatial sensations <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.com\/125539\/3d-print-sandstone-sculptures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using technology as an artistic medium<\/a> of expression. Most of Uyanik\u2019s work is centered around creating a range of sculptural forms and interactive installations to explore space in physical and virtual environments.<\/p>\n<p>In that sense, 3D printing is giving rise to new opportunities for artists, impacting the field, and gaining popularity. In fact, Uyanik believes that 3D printing is <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.com\/232988\/artists-embrace-possibilities-offered-by-3d-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">becoming quite popular<\/a> and common in the new media arts community today, but expects that growing accessibility to a larger group of creators will make the technology even more prevalent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTechnology in art-making is not a new concept, artists have always employed contemporary tools of their times to realize their ideas. In fact, the word \u2018technology\u2019 originates from \u2018t\u00e9khn\u0113<i>\u2018<\/i> in ancient Greek and refers to the act of making that is concrete, variable, and context-dependent. Technology was never independent from art; mediums like painting, print, and photography were groundbreaking during their time of inception as robotics, 3D printing, and machine learning are to us now,\u201d explained Uyanik. \u201cAs artists work with these mediums, they become familiar with their nature and capabilities, which then shape their practice in return and become one of the defining factors of their work. Further, they push these mediums to their limits.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179301\" style=\"width: 2500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-179301 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pasted-into-Turkish-Artist-Melds-Historic-Figures-with-3D-Printed-Sandstone-Sculpture-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pasted-into-Turkish-Artist-Melds-Historic-Figures-with-3D-Printed-Sandstone-Sculpture-3.png 2500w, https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pasted-into-Turkish-Artist-Melds-Historic-Figures-with-3D-Printed-Sandstone-Sculpture-3-1536x1063.png 1536w, https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pasted-into-Turkish-Artist-Melds-Historic-Figures-with-3D-Printed-Sandstone-Sculpture-3-2048x1417.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cSelfmaking: layers of becoming with,\u201d a 3D printed sculpture combining historical figures Alexander the Great and Pericles.

My practice is shaped by speculative thinking, philosophical inquiry, and conceptual experimentation,\u201d went on Uyanik. \u201cThe Translocal Cooperation exhibition focuses on how we simultaneously occupy or travel through numerous physical and virtual locations in a hyper-connected world and how as a result of this is we increasingly identify with more than one place or culture. This is one of the core concepts of my piece too. The participating artists visualize the challenges of peoples, cultures, and ideas, displaced over space and time, and explore how to re-evaluate and reconceive them for trans-local solidarity and knowledge exchange in a rapidly changing world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the Hellenistic period in ancient Greece, sculptors have been making busts of some of the most influential figures in history, often carved out of stone and bronze.
