l'artisan electronique is a virtual potting wheel and ceramic printer created by the belgian design studio
unfold with tim knapen. the installation was commissioned by Z33 art centre in hasselt, belgium for their
current exhibition, design by performance which is on show until may 30, 2010. the installation enables
exhibit visitors to make their own forms using the device. some of the forms are printed out at regular
intervals and showcased as a part of the exhibit. the virtual pottery wheel utilizes a 3d scanner and digital
software to generate a form. the intent is to refer to the tradition of traditional ceramic making, while
using the latest digital technology. the ceramic printer also makes this point by printing the clayu forms
using the traditional coil technique.
