This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
The text outlines an artistic research and development project that investigates Open Source and Open Hardware systems as artistic, technological, and pedagogical tools. Positioned at the intersection of artistic practice, technological development, and critical reflection on contemporary production culture, the project explores how open, accessible, and repairable machines can expand design methodologies and challenge proprietary production structures. Central to the research is the act of building as a form of knowledge production, fostering embodied technological understanding and user agency. With a strong ecological, social, and pedagogical sustainability ambition, the project proposes alternative, locally situated production models. A key outcome is the development of a large-scale, open delta-based 3D printer for sustainable materials, enabling artistic exploration at human and architectural scales.
