[quote=Gimzodo]Not willing to let Fujifilm own the 3D-printed fine art reproduction market, Canon's Océ Group—responsible for the company's professional large format printers—is working with Dutch researcher Tim Zaman on a similar approach to accurately duplicating famous paintings.[/quote] [URL]http://gizmodo.com/3d-printing-fine-art-fakes-is-here-to-stay-1383456733[/URL] [video=youtube;EXRt64HEBrk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXRt64HEBrk[/video] Edit: Post fixed, hopefully.
This would be an excellent way to restore old paintings.
That's beautiful. Go scan the Mona Lisa!
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;42308565]Now create a art gallery where you are allowed to touch the paintings.[/QUOTE] Oh sweet motherfucker, yes. I'm dead honestly considering buying a painting made like that and hanging it in my living room just because it's going to look 100% genuine and I can fuck with people when I show them the wikipedia article on the painting.
This devalues something for me, I'm not sure what but I don't feel particularly good about it.
Holy shit. I was just thinking about this the other day while I was looking at an impasto style painting. I love 3D printers.

Saddening in that respect.[/QUOTE] not really. the atoms of paint and canvass aren't the valuable parts to a painting imo. it's the arrangement of colors on that canvass that creates a "one-of-a-kind" work.
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;42308990]You could do good with it by displaying paintings that are permanently in storage because the risk of damage is just too high. (Or things like that) You could even send schools a affordable but very realistic Mona Lisa.[/QUOTE] The art snobs will get pissy. I'd totally got for a Mona Lisa. A poster just doesn't cut it.
