Be Your Own
Souvenir connects street users, arts and science, linking them to
under-lying alternative spaces and their own realities. The audience are
released from established roles in a perspective exchange:
spectator-performer, artist-tourist, observer-object.
The user is both producer and consumer in this unique art
installation and project. Be Your Own Souvenir invites the viewer to
perform the role of and become a human statue, with a free personal
souvenir as a reward: a small figurine of the participant, printed
three-dimensionally from a volumetric reconstruction of their form,
generated by the use of a structured light scanner.blablabLAB is a
collaborative collective structured around transdisciplinary
collaboration. They imagine strategies and create tools to make society
face its complex reality (urban, technological, alienated and
hyper-consumerist). It works without preset formats, approaching the
knowledge generation, property and diffusion of it.
