Filling Time, Filling Space

This paper documents the creative process of the author, a practitioner of computational art and design and an academic, during the development of their thesis on Interactive 3D Printing (I3DP). I3DP focuses on what it might look and feel like to be working as human practitioner in the new territories of the computationally-augmented creative arts, if these future artists and designers could truly work with 3D printing in a more programmatic, interactive way. The research process included the development of LivePrinter, an I3DP prototype, user studies, and associated creative outputs. These outputs form a record of experiments in computational ways of filling physical space (sculpturally), and filling time (musically).
