Artists Adam Lister and Isaac Budmen have created “8 Bits, 3 Dimensions”, a collection of flat illustrations of famous artwork and pop culture icons turned into 3D-printed sculptures. Lister starts the collaborative process off by making a watercolor painting of his subject in an 8-bit “digital age” style. Budmen then reimagines each painting as a digital 3D object that is sent off to a 3D printing service. It returns to them as a physical, full-color sandstone piece of art.

Beyond the second dimension, the ‘8 Bits, 3 Dimensions’ collection represents a further evolution of the digital age. Digital fabrication — or “3D Printing” — is a refinement of the digital building process. Today, our world can be precisely crafted using millions of bits, and then made manifest with machines that can produce designs to exact specifications.
