There was a life-sized angel statue in the Sculpture room. I read the
card, but failed to write down (or remember) the name of the builder.
Does anyone know who that was, and how to contact him?
I’d like to put a picture of it in BrickWiki (on the Sculpture page), but
I need permission first.
Thanks,

That Angel was created by David Winkler, who is also our NWBrickCon 2005
Art/Sculpture/Mosaic Coordinator. If you wish to contact him, fill out and
send the “Contact Us” link at
NWBrickCon and we’ll help you connect.

Wasn’t that sculpture built as a test of some software he had written? I
believe you give it a 3D model and it generates building instructions for
you.

Yup.
I gave a talk on the software at Brickfest, “Automated Brick Layout”
I posted the slides from that talk in my brickshelf folder:

Please feel free to post photos.
Thank you!

I missed your presentation that day. How technical was it? You probably
explained NP-complete briefly, and I’m guessing you didn’t go into the computer
science part of everything except what was necessary. I’m curious if you have a
more technical version of a presentation I could see -- I’d at least like to
know how the lossy/lossless algorithms work in psuedo code. Also, is this
subject worthy of an ACM article? That would be cool.
Thanks!
