\"\"<\/a>Morehshin Allahyari<\/a> is an Iranian artist who moved to the US ten years ago, and produces work across Internet art, video and installation, sculpture, writing, and other forms, all of which explore, she says, \u00c2\u00a0the political, social, and cultural contradictions we face every day.<\/p>\n

Two of Allahyari’s recent and most well-known works are The 3D Additivist Cookbook<\/em><\/a> (with Daniel Rourke), and Material Speculation: ISIS<\/em><\/a>. The former is a book of 3d .obj and .stl files, critical and fictional texts, templates, recipes, (im)practical designs and methodologies from over 100 world-leading artists, activists and theorists.<\/p>\n

And it is absolutely free. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Download The 3D Additivist Cookbook<\/em> here<\/em><\/a>, or torrent (yes, a completely legal bit torrent!) the archive here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Material Speculation<\/em> is a reconstruction of 12 selected (original) artifacts (statues from the Roman period city of Hatra and Assyrian artifacts from Nineveh) that were destroyed by ISIS in 2015. Allahyari 3D modeled and 3D printed these forms, creating, in the artists words \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a practical and political possibility for artifact archival, while also proposing 3D printing technology as a tool both for resistance and documentation. It intends to use 3D printing as a process for repairing history and memory.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She includes a flash drive and a memory card inside the body of each 3D printed object, making each a kind of time capsule with images, maps, pdf files, and videos gathered on the artifacts and sites that were destroyed.<\/p>\n

She is also a friend: generous and fun, smart and friendly, I highly recommend you try to make it to her talk this week, September 27, 2017 here in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Artists Now!<\/a> lectures take place every Wednesday at 7:30 pm in the Arts Center Lecture Hall on the UWM campus. They are always free and open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
