FabLab Challenge 2010

As part of the FutureEverything Conference (Manchester, May, 2010) I was selected to take part in the FabLab Challenge at the UK's first MIT FabLab at the Manchester Manufacturing Institute in Ancoats.  The Challenge for twelve artists was to produce an artwork to a digitally related theme within a restricted time using the laboratories up to date fabrication facilities.  The artist's range of outputs were exhibited at the Conference's Finissage event at The Palace Hotel.  An indepth summary of my experience will be published in my perspectives paper, 'The D Factor' in the BodySpaceTechnology Journal (Brunel University) in the coming month.  Images used within the paper (a few of which please see below) are with great thanks to Richard Hooper, of Liverpool Hope University.
