 I love some of the insanely great things that people are doing with rapid prototyping technology. Here, members of the Swedish design group FRONT use motion capture tech to record the free-handed strokes of their furniture drawing and then a rapid prototyping machine fabs the pieces they've drawn in liquid plastic. It's something like this which reminds me I'm actually living in the 21st century.

Look at the girl on the right starting at 0:35, it she lags behind the drawing very noticably.

Not a fake, I suspect. The white lines are obviously being added to the video later - unless as well as 3D imaging and laser-solidified plastic they've also invented a marker pen that draws lines in the air...

4th of July sparkler play made real! After dark and firecrackers we'd set up a camera on a tripod and open the shutter, and then draw with flaming sparklers taking turns. The rest of the party would try to guess the object drawn. A couple of days later we would get prints and see who had drawn the best picture, and who had guessed right. Now we could build those shapes.
Picasso did this long ago, see: http://www.time.com/time/time100/artists/profile/picasso.html
With rapid prototyping equipment most anything can be realized. Too bad the draftspersons in the picture are not artists.
