We assisted in the creation of 3D artworks by AOYAGI BISEN, a calligrapher and artist who explores the possibilities of calligraphy on various stages.
This project is an attempt to materialize 360-degree data drawn in a VR space into a real-world three-dimensional object. At our company, we placed the utmost importance on how to translate the “flow and pressure of the brushstrokes” that the artist unleashed into the space into a physical three-dimensional object without compromising its essence. Aiming to achieve both the dynamic energy of calligraphy’s trajectory and the meticulous beauty of its form, we repeatedly adjusted the surface texture, from 3D printing to the final finishing touches, until the piece was completed.
Sculpture of movement solid body
This series involves printing the trajectory of letters written in 360 degrees in a VR space as a three-dimensional object using a 3D printer.
Instead of reading calligraphy as characters from the front, experience the movement of the calligraphy itself from multiple angles
— from the side, from behind, from below.
Each time you change your viewing angle, the artwork reveals a new expression.
This is an attempt to liberate calligraphy from its two-dimensional representation and to bring it into space as a bodily movement.
