Daniel de Bruin is a student at the University of the Arts in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Earlier this year, in a bid to reclaim the feeling of creative ownership from encroaching technological automisation, he built This New Technology , a machine he claims is the world’s first mechanical 3D printer.
“3D printing allows me to create products more swiftly and more efficiently than ever. But these products don’t feel mine. They are merely a product of this new technology. I love technology but how can I reclaim ownership of my work? Perhaps by building the machine that produces the work. Perhaps by physically powering the machine, which I built, that produces the work. In the hope of rediscovering the sense of having created something, I create.” p (sl)
