The “Tōhoku Japanese Earthquake Sculpture” is a 30cm x 20cm piece on display at London’s Jerwood Space that depicts nine minutes of seismographic readings during the 9.0 earthquake. Gerram employed a CAD program to create a 3D model of the readings and then printed the sculpture with a rapid prototyping machine. [Luke Gerram via Laughing Squid]
