Not every day do you get to have a 3D bust made of you by artist Douglas Coupland.
That’s exactly what our EIC Sarah Bancroft did this morning when she participated in Coupland’s 3DCanada project at Simons Park Royal West Vancouver. The fourth stop in his six-city tour in partnership with Simons, the project will give 100 Canadians in each locale the chance to have their bust printed using 3D technology (for pick-up the following week).
Though we’d love to have one of these in our homes (check out Coupland’s and Bancroft’s pictured), the project isn’t all about shameless vanity. Coupland will use copies of each bust gathered from now until 2017 to create a cross-country portrait featuring Canadians from Vancouver to Quebec City—a comment on where we’re going as a nation, technologically.
