I may be the first person to ever explore the artistic possibilities of sculpting with dry-erase dust.

Just so you know.

So what are your conclusions?

Challenging medium to work in - it's prone to diffusion, and you can really only nudge it around within the plane that you're working, so you somewhat have to build forms from the inside out.

A new foray into the world of microsculpture!

I can't even begin to think about what it would take to complete a work on the scale of Michaelangelo's David with that medium. You'd need to send out dust harvesters to every whiteboard in america.

Now I have a mental image of itinerant dust farmers. Thanks.

But Is It Art?

It's pretty Garfunkelly. Lots of things don't lend themselves to it, but I have already used it for satire (as so much of my whiteboard art already is...).

You should ask Pablo to describe the 3-D printer sometime.
