• ‘The only fields where sampling and remixing are done openly are music and computer programming.’ – Lev Manovich


  Remixing is a natural human activity. We regularly sample words, clothes, even objects to make collections to describe ourselves. What if, rather than forming collections, we could sample elements of real objects to create new ones? Advances in 3D printing and scanning technology mean this is now possible; the only parts missing are the tools. This project explores the creation of a new set of tools that allow us to remix physical objects ourselves.
