Laser Cutter Example: “Chalet Suisse Gothique” by Guy Flinkfor (2008)
This project is an aesthetic project by a Belgian artist who lasercuts in particular different ethnic buildings from all around the world. This particular piece is an extension of the découpage art tradition of Switzerland with a Gothic twist. The overall look was achieved by lasercutting the façade and gluing these outer pieces onto an interior box.
(Unfortunately this artist only has a blog rather than an official website but I strive to combine the aesthetics achieved here with the concept of a lasercutter and therefore believe I can justify presenting this piece. Part of the purpose of “découpage” art is that it takes an extremely long time and is extremely precise. Does using a lasercutter kill this or enhance it? My project will strive to answer this question through a process. This artwork only shows the one side.)
