Fractal mathematician and artist Johan Andersson has worked for four years creating a truly amazing and one-of-a-kind chess set which is being released piece by piece from Shapeways. The set is meant to represent a seven-part play about humanity, and each 3D printed piece of the set is a unique character with a unique story. Andersson was inspired by fractal artists like Duchamp and DalĂ*, but wanted to make a surreal chess set, incorporating 3D printing, and putting his own signature (literally) on the medium and craft.
