The 3D Additivist Cookbook (2016)

“The 3D Additivist Cookbook,” co-devised and edited with Daniel Rourke, is a free 3D PDF compendium of imaginative, provocative works from over 100 world-leading “artists, designers, curators, students, activists and theorist. Released in December, 2016, the works in the Cookbook are a coalescence of recipes, fictions, critical essays, .obj and .stl files, toolkits, templates, blueprints, and methodologies.

Prior to the release of the Cookbook, Allahyari and Rourke released the “3D Additivist Manifesto” in March 2015 as a call to push the 3D printer and other creative technologies to their absolute limits and beyond the realm of the speculative. The Manifesto contains a call to action with 16 points of intended mobilizations for the revolution. The 3D Additivist Cookbook came as a response to the Manifesto’s call for Creation as a violent assault on the forces of matter. Allahyari & Rourke’s aim for the Cookbook is not only the expansion of the limits of the 3D printer, but to also the extraction of the raw potential of its machinery.

#Additivism is a portmanteau of additive and activism, a conflation that defines a movement intent on disrupting material, social, computational, and metaphysical realities through provocation, collaboration and science fictional thinking.

In 2016, #Additivism was the recipient of the prestigious Vilem Flusser /Transmediale Residency for Artistic Research, as well as two research development grants, including one from the Ernst Schering Foundation.
