“I want my work to respond, resist, and criticize the current political and cultural situation that we experience on a daily basis,” she explains. She has achieved wide acclaim for proposing 3D printing technology as a tool both for resistance and documentation.

#Additivism is a portmanteau of additive and activism: a movement concerned with critiquing ‘radical’ new technologies in fablabs, workshops, and classrooms; at social, ecological, and global scales. 

Her The 3D Additivist Cookbook questions whether it’s possible to change the world without also changing ourselves, and what the implications are of taking a position.
