LiveWire

LiveWire explores the relationship between ideas and tools. Both enable each other and in this perpetual catch 22, therein lies the evolution of both -technology advances as social constructs become more complex.

The capabilities of computer technologies are constantly improving and spreading further into different areas of modern life. From 3d printing to CNC Routing, digital technology offers a new genre for exploring alternative digital fabrication techniques that can be used to communicate, develop and actualize ideas. This is an explicit characteristic of the place computer technology holds within our culture

LiveWire is an open source mini CNC wire bender that promotes the creation of novel structural systems through processes of digital fabrication and assembly. it can take lines and curves created digitally and replicate them in brass wire. It can output any 2d vector line and can be clipped or soldered together to create more complex 3D structures.
