DIASEC® is a patented method of mounting photographic prints on transparent Perspex (acrylic glass), while the back of the print is mounted onto an archival aluminium backing called Dibond.

Garth Walker has always been interested in developing and encouraging a language through design ‘rooted in the African experience’. Believing this to be Africa’s most powerful traditional weapon, he created i-jusi in 1995 – an experimental graphics magazine posing the question: ‘What makes me African?'

3D printing machines are so smart they can even print their own spare parts. The first time I heard about three-dimensional printing was a couple of years ago on a Discovery Channel programme about NASA. The show was on ‘life in space’, and what it’s like to be an astronaut severed from reality and trapped in a tin can miles above the earth. Aboard the space station, astronauts had to learn how to operate a (fairly rudimentary) 3D printing machine, so that they could repair broken parts, switches, etc...by ‘printing’ new ones.
