“People who care about their jobs work here. It’s easy to forget that when you’re thinking about Disney, a company whose reputation these days has more to do with whom they sue than with what they make.\u00a0But oh, what they make.<\/strong>” (Doctorow 354)<\/p>\n “In this transnational world, what is\u00a0fake<\/strong>\u00a0and what is\u00a0real<\/strong>? Who are the\u00a0creators<\/strong>\u00a0and who are the\u00a0imitators<\/strong>?” (Lin 5)<\/p>\n “In the case of material signs, we do not read meaningful symbols; we\u00a0meaningfully<\/strong>\u00a0engage\u00a0meaningless<\/strong>\u00a0symbols. Material signs have no meaning in themselves; they merely afford the possibility of meaning, as a door affords the possibility of being opened.” (Malafouris 118)<\/p>\n How much value within\u00a0the Blue Rabbit projects will be placed upon our\u00a03D printed object? Once the object\u00a0comes out of the printer,\u00a0do the ideas that we’ve spun\u00a0into the project become complete? Ideas can be\u00a0much bigger than material objects; it’s easier to make a mind map than a spider web.\u00a0For eight short weeks we’ve studied\u00a0the 3D printer, which is why we\u00a0are pushing their limits to\u00a0exert our big ideas out of the\u00a0tiny extruder. The contingency has, of course, caused complications. Some of us are realizing that the language barriers between\u00a0Tinkercad, the lab aids, the printer, ourselves, and our ideas are getting tangled in the web of precious time. How will we ultimately interact with our 3D printed object; how will it change our ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chrissy G. 30 Nov 2014 “People who care about their jobs work here.
