LATEST NEWS — Amsterdam Spin Event (by invitation only) – October 10th, 2008, 17:00 – A performance in which a team of artists feed glass into a spinning centrifuge: through the hand and body of both the "conductor" and "bit-runners" a manual re-interpretation of 3D rapid prototyping interprets the music being spun on a turntables. Instead of a CAD program transforming information into thin cross-sections that guides material deposits, a group of people collaborate to additively build, with the intention of re-creating within these means and as accurately as possible, the feeling or expression of the music.

FEATURED SLIDE SHOW: WORK-IN-PROGRESS — Spin Event 05/19/08, Music DJ, dancing bit-runners, conductors, turntables, molten glass.
A DJ plays a dance mix. Simultaneously two spinning turntable constructions are receiving hot glass. Each turntable is manned by glass conductors who direct the beat, speed, verticality and horizontality of the glass. The hot glass brought by dancing bit-runners. The interpretation of the music through the DJ as well as the hand and body of both the conductors and the bit-runners is crucial to the growing glass form.
