The 3D Additivist Cookbook

<p><em>The 3D Additivist Cookbook</em> (2017), devised and edited by Morehshin Allahyari & Daniel Rourke, is a free compendium of imaginative, provocative works from over 100 world-leading artists, activists and theorists. <em>The 3D Additivist Cookbook</em> contains .obj and .stl files for the 3D printer, as well as critical and fictional texts, templates, recipes, (im)practical designs and methodologies for living in this most contradictory of times.</p> <p>In March 2015 Allahyari & Rourke released <em>The 3D Additivist Manifesto</em>, a call to push the 3D printer and other creative technologies, to their absolute limits and beyond into the realm of the speculative, the provocative and the weird. <em>The 3D Additivist Cookbook</em> is composed of responses to that call, an extensive catalog of digital forms, material actions, and post-humanist methodologies and impressions.</p> <p>#Additivism is a portmanteau of <em>additive</em> and <em>activism</em>: a movement concerned with critiquing ‘radical’ new technologies in fablabs, workshops, and classrooms; at social, ecological, and global scales. <em>The 3D Additivist Cookbook</em> questions whether it’s possible to change the world without also changing ourselves, and what the implications are of taking a position.</p>
