Hi! My name is Julian Silva. I'm a 3d artist (sculpture, wood, metal, digital fabrication) and desginer born and raised in Phoenix metro, Arizona. Currently Fablab Manager for The MIXFabLab @ The Mix Center @ Arizona State University.

I'm most excited at exploring the magic where digital and physcial wolds collide, exploring the intersectionality of digital fabroication, art, and craft. I've worked in or around Makerspaces/fablabs/art studios in both community and higher ed since 2013. Looking foreward to finally making the plunge into electronics, circuit design, and programing and incorporating these into my practice.

Current intrests inlude light, kinetic sculpture, and interactive systems for play.

My partner and I also co-op a community print ship in downtown Phoenix called paperjam+ print where we also run our own indie art studio SATURNHEX We specialize in a niche printing process called risogrpah known for its vibrant color paellet and grainy texture. Our goal...make print acessible to other artists, creatives, authors, and activists. Emporering our community to project their voice and tell their own unique stories. We hold workshops, openstudio events, and accesible print sessions.

Some recent work!
