With the 3D Exquisite Corpse we aimed to highlight FabLab services while introducing as many novices as possible to 3D modeling by incorporating the surrealist art game, known as Exquisite Corpse. The game usually requires folding paper and in our 3D version we use the free software, Sculptris, and multiple teams of three random players to draw the heads, torsos and legs of our "corpses."
