GREEN print

Students of the Faculty of Education Maribor, Department of Fine Arts, group leader Maja Petek, mentor prof. Dušan Zidar

The project has been designed for the Intermedia Arts course, under the mentorship of prof. Dušan Zidar as the subject holder. The group is composed of Danica Rženičnik, Urška Skaza, Tina Zidanšek and Simon Tržan; the latter has created a CNC machine which presents the basis of assessment.

The CNC machine is designed as a “green” printer; instead of an ink, it uses a mixture of soil, water and grass seeds, thus enabling the motives being printed out to grow green in time with proper care.
