Townhouse 10 Nabarawy St, off Champollion St, Downtown, Tel 02 2576 8086 Factory Space “Out of Print,” is an invitation to think in 3D. It is a collaboration between tech collective Cairo Hackerspace and members of the public. Individuals are invited to put forth an idea or problem to be translated into physical form: it could be a sound or a gesture, a painting or a photograph. Engineers from Cairo Hackerspace will be available every day of the exhibition from 4 to 8 with 3D printers, virtual reality headsets, scanners and sensors to create, problem-solve, and produce models based on the ideas presented. In addition to participating in the printing process, members of the public are also invited to pen their thoughts on an idea board facing the printers. This experiment attempts to challenge notions of value in the process of artistic production. An “original” can be contested when the artwork itself is a reproducible data file; a chance glitch can create something that's one of a kind. The result of this collaborative interaction is an unpredictable process that raises questions about copyright and intellectual property (closing 21 June).
