Face Sculpture for ESMO Barcelona
Axios NYC designed and fabricated a 60-inch-tall low-poly face sculpture interactive for the 2019 ESMO Congress in Barcelona Spain. The sculpture was made from high density foam and carved with an 8-axis CNC arm. The face was then covered in a custom magnetic paint and a white lacquer to give it a clean abstract feel. Individual Carnations were wrapped with a small magnet to create boutonnieres which were placed on the face of the sculpture to reference the marks of a specific skin condition. As participants removed the flowers, the represented “skin mark” disappeared. The participants could then attach the flowers to their lapels to show support for the disease.
