Be Your Own Souvenir

Be Your Own Souvenir invites the viewer to perform the role of and become a human statue, with a free personal souvenir as a reward: a small figurine of the participant, printed three-dimensionally from a volumetric reconstruction of their form, generated by the use of a structured light scanner.

Be Your Own Souvenir connects street users, arts and science, linking them to under-lying alternative spaces and their own realities. The audience are released from established roles in a perspective exchange: spectator-performer, artist-tourist, observer-object. The user is both producer and consumer in this unique art installation and project.

blablabLAB is a collaborative collective structured around transdisciplinary collaboration. They imagine strategies and create tools to make society face its complex reality (urban, technological, alienated and hyper-consumerist). It works without preset formats, approaching the knowledge generation, property and diffusion of it.

In September 2011, Be Your Own Souvenir allowed the public to create statues of themselves with kinect and 3D printers in the streets of Hackney, Red Market, Old Street. The project was awarded a PRIX ARS ELECTRONICA 2011 Honorary Mention.
