For art lovers, this technological moment represents a tremendous opportunity…" "… [A] public-spirited race for private status, with billionaire filmmakers and tech tycoons competing to outdo one another with the quality, cleverness and exoticism of the scans they sponsor…" "The real prestige would come … from releasing the scan to the public domain, with the sponsor’s name attached. It’s a way of becoming the Medici or Carnegie of the digital era." – Bloomberg View, http://bloom.bg/LIvH9C For more objects by Cosmo Wenman, go to:http://www.thingiverse.com/CosmoWenman …http://www.cosmowenman.comhttp://www.twitter.com/CosmoWenmanhttp://www.youtube.com/CosmoWenman
