Miguel Chevalier 3D Prints the Enormous Head of a Roman God

French artist Miguel Chevalier transforms the face of antiquity (well, two of its faces, in fact) in his newest work, Janus 2013. The 3D-printed pixel sculpture, part of his current interactive installation Terra Incognita at the Museu Da Imagem E Do Som in Brazil, recreates the two-faced god of Roman Mythology on a massive scale—Janus 2013 weighs close to 256 pounds and stands approximately 3.3 x 3.3 x 2.7 ft.

According to Voxeljet, Chevalier’s weighty work is the product of 40 hours of printing time by the large-format Voxeljet VX4000 printer, after which, the hollow god was filled with epoxy resin. The piece is only the latest production from the digital and virtual art pioneer, who continues to produce incredible art with our ever changing technologies. This year alone, Chevalier has traversed the digital worlds of floral fractals and interactive light animations (in ancient Italian castles and neo-gothic churches, no less).
