The Replicator Workshop was a three day workshop developed and led by Magnhild Øen Nordahl and Gabriele de Seta. In the workshop we tested out emerging methods for generating 3D models using a selection of recently developed, early stage AI webtools such as 3DFY, Alpha3D, MasterpieceX, Meshcapade and Shap-E. Trying to understand how generative AI can be used to produce physical objects in the near future we followed a learning by doing approach, as well as a learning from each other approach, together with the participating artists Andreas Zissler, Silver Carlsson and Funda Zeynep Agüler. A selection of the models were 3D printed, CNC milled and cast in acrylic plaster, and the workshop results were presented in a talk during the core days of Bergen Center for Electronic Art’s symposium The Only Lasting Truth is Change in fall 2023.
