Ghosts in the form of gifts

A DigitalNZ Story by hollowaysmith

"Ghosts in the form of gifts" is a series of objects that are replicas of artifacts imagined as lost, hidden or misregistered during the Museum of New Zealand’s tenure in the former Museum Building on Buckle St, now occupied by Massey University’s College of Creative Arts. The objects have been created through a process of drawing, digital 3D rendering, and finally printing with an Open Source 3-dimensional printer – the RepRap. The digital files for the artefacts are freely available for educational re-use under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license. Some CAD files are also available in ArtOfIllusion (.aoi) format. Art of Illusion is a free, open source 3D modelling and rendering programme available from http://artofillusion.org Files are also available on Thingiverse.com
