This free exhibition includes more than 100 artists and designers from 32 countries, diversity and dynamic practices, including modern robotics and 3D printing.

Vespers' 15 3D printed masks are divided into three separate series, depicting the past, the present and the future.The whole series is based on the exploration of ancient traditions and future technologies, taking into account the preservation of biological and cultural life.
This week, Stratasys announced that the first and third series of Vespers 3D Death Print Masks have been acquired by the prestigious National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Melbourne's oldest and most popular gallery in Australia .

Vespers, the incarnation of Stratasys 'neoclassical' series, form a delicate balance between the advances in biotechnology behind the 3D printed death masks and the tribal native qualities of 'the past' inspired by ancient masks that explode life with death and Historically, Ottoman took full advantage of the J750's multi-material, full-color 3D printing technology in its design, using a combination of five materials to precisely mimic the colors seen in cultural artifacts of different ages and in different regions.
