We decided to animate the 3 Bauhaus symbols and to use the title "Symbiosis and Synergie", because they symbolize the Bauhaus idea of uniting the big varieties of arts and crafts under one patronage. In a certain way this animation is a self-reflecting document of the 3d printer's principle of operation: Like in the basic idea of the Bauhaus, different crafts have to be connected to achieve a result. Construction, installation, programming, drafting, modelling, printing are only some fields that play a role. Every single field can exist on its own, but only in a synergetic cooperation the 3d printing is possible. | We decided to animate the 3 Bauhaus symbols and to use the title "Symbiosis and Synergie", because they symbolize the Bauhaus idea of uniting the big varieties of arts and crafts under one patronage.

Therefore it seems to us, that 3d printing and Bauhaus fit together perfectly. | Therefore it seems to us, that 3d printing and Bauhaus fit together perfectly. | ||

We printed the 16 animation frames with white ABS. We split the figures with too much overhang into halfs and glued them together afterwards. Afterwards we went over the models with rasp and sand paper and then used spray paint to dye them black. | |||
