3D SKETCHING
With all of the movement in
the 3D printing space, it
makes sense that we should
soon be able to draw
designs in 3D as well. e
team at Gravity Sketch
agreed and embraced the
idea, creating what could be
called a 3D sketchbook. e
device uses a pair of 3D
glasses and a special tablet
which essentially allows the
user to work in multiple
layers which can then be
manipulated by controls on
the tablet. FAST CO.

CRACKDOWN
In most countries, working
on a tourist visa is definitely
against the rules, but thanks
to some stringent rules for
Chinese work visas, its a
typical practice for models.
Knowing this, the Chinese
government cracked down

allegedly went as far as
stopping anyone that looked

to see work documents.

only question at this point is
if Tmall and Alibaba can be
stopped. JING DAILY

has created a “subversive
mask” to fool surveillance
cameras. e 3D printed
mask offers some escape for
the wearer, appearing to
facial recognition soware
as Selvaggio. ough that
doesn’t offer much escape
for the Chicago-based
artist, it is one solution to
what Fast Company
identified as “an
increasingly stifling
surveillance infrastructure.”
In addition to the 3D
printed option, there are
also paper and digital
versions of the mask that
extend it’s uses in on- and
offline spaces. FAST CO.
