Over the years, cultural and artistic expressions have been constantly transforming through technology, finding their impetus in the global communication facilitated by the Internet. The emergence of digital fabrication has reshaped the concepts of design, manufacturing, and consumption, with artists at the forefront, pushing boundaries and constructing new imaginaries.
ARTeFAB - Puebla, Mexico - International Exhibition highlights the imminent impact of technological progress within the creative essence of human nature.
Nestled in the historic Ex-hospital of San Roque in Puebla, ArteFab transformed digital fabrication into an expressive medium, offering a playground where sculptures, interactive installations, machines and eco-futuristic fashion pieces collided with cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing and CNC machining and artisanal processes.
ArteFab International Exhibition was held in Puebla between July and August 2024, part of the Fab24 - Mexico International Fab Lab Conference and was curated by Alberto Blanco, Anastasia Pistofidou, Maricruz Chavez Garcia and Raul Babines, with the support of Fabricademy, Fab24 and Fab Foundation.
