Not art but tool: Pocketfactory loaded their Prius with a couple of Makerbots, Kinects and software and are on a cross country road trip to demonstrate it. They have a concept for a company that manufactures one-of or small quantities of design and craft items using bot magic. The Makerbot is a relatively inexpensive 3d printer. You can see videos of it in action. In a very meta move, key parts of the Makerbot can be made by a Makerbot - robots making robots! What it makes comes from plugging it into your computer. The design can be made by 3d drawing and design software. A shortcut is a 3d scanner. Open source software can be used to turn a Kinect into a scanner! For artists it can be a sculpture factory.
