The YouFab Global Creative Awards are our global awards celebrating digital fabrication. Fab Meetup’s August event will be happening a special way—as the YouFab 2016 Kick Off Party!
The event will take place in two parts. The first part features Akinori Goto and Hiromasa Fukaji, who are the last year’s finalists. They’ll be giving presentations on their latest projects in the usual Fab Meetups style.
During the second half of the event, we’ll be holding a crosstalk between Creative Director Toshiya Fukuda, who also heads the awards committee, and prizewinners including Akinori and Hiromasa. Working with the theme of technology and creativity, they’ll be speaking about how the future will change with digital fabrication and how it’s been changing its boundary. Entry to this month’s special-edition Fab Meetup is free of charge.
We welcome everyone to take part, whether you are considering sending in an entry to YouFab or not!

YouFab Global Creative Award 2015 Finalist winning work “toki-“
This is a media installation born from a combination of modern technologies. The time axes of movement are connected through three dimensions and given form through 3D printing. Through the application of light, the transitory movements of time are visualized. This installation will show in a new light that movement, to begin with, is realized through its relationship with time, and that time continues on incessantly, through the past, present and future.

YouFab Global Creative Award 2015 Finalist winning work "toki-"
Born in Oasaka, 1990. Mater of Design, Kyoto Institute of Technology.
His notable work, “Plotter Drawing” shows the possibility of creation of Art by machines. He continues his work in Osaka to research and propose “What we can do in FAB tools”.
YouFab Global Creative Award 2015 Finalist winning work “Plotter Drawing”
There are incredible things that can only be expressed by hand, in other words, “writing on paper directly with a pencil.” With this in mind, “Plotter Drawing” was created as a new tool for expression, adding various digital control elements to sketching. The writing instrument moves mechanically, enabling Plotter Drawing to go beyond what the human hand can draw, and by mixing mediums, such as different inks and paper texture, your picture can attain more artistic depth. With techniques used by “Plotter Drawing”, the user is then able to use various sketching styles, and the picture can be recreated as if by hand.
