3D Printed Textscapes

Hongtao Zhou has used 3D printing of text to make an impact in several ways. Calling his 3D printed documents and passages ‘textscapes,’ he uses them as a vehicle for artwork, as well as a cultural and historical reminder of ancient Chinese printing. His series of textscapes is presented in Braille, calligraphy, and different languges, as well as number systems and even cityscapes. They are not only works of art but certainly enjoyable for the visually impaired — and everyone — to read. Check out more in the full article: http://3dprint.com/37336/textscapes-hongtao-zhou/


Below is a photo of one of Zhou's textscapes, a 3D printed definition of "printing": Pretty cool if you ask me. What do you guys think?
