Project Overview
Artist Initiative
Project Details
Euclide will purchase a 3-D printer to aid in the creation of a series of functional sculptures based on the mineral mines of Minnesota. The new work will be exhibited at a local gallery where he will give a lecture/demonstration on how information from Google, vector software and the 3-D printer were used to create the forms that lead to the production of limited edition objects.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I want to bring awareness to the issues surrounding mining in Minnesota by suggesting that we might be able to enjoy the benefits of the modern world and simultaneously be responsible. An exhibition of the works will be accompanied by literature describing new way to think about polarized issues such as mining. 2: I want to learn the process of 3D printing from the topography of the land. I will accurately render at least five miniature mines out of porcelain and materials from the mines.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Awareness was brought to issues surrounding the use and exploitation of natural resources in the state of Minnesota. I was able to have discourse with individuals in the press as well as attendees of the opening. This enabled me to discuss the works with them and talk about the issues surrounding the use of resources. 2: I now have the ability to take an image from a photograph or something generated by the computer and produce an exact cut out. I can layer those cuts to create topography. I was able to learn the technology that allowed me to make topographical maps become a model.
