The Fiction Boys, All images viaCreated by German artist Moto Waganari, these intricate 3D printed wire sculptures tell stories with the shadows they cast on the surfaces them. From astronauts walking on the moon to divers jumping off a cliff, each work is an interplay of light and dark, space and substance. With his online portal built from HTML5 and WebGL, Waganari—whose real name is Lutz Wagner—brings his physical sculptures into the digital space, allowing viewers to "touch the untouchable," by pulling, twisting and bending images of his works into new forms.
