Projects

RITMO

Ritmo is a performance that brings together technology and performing arts in a way that creates something truly unique. The show explores the convergence of these two elements, blurring the lines between the process and the goal. The performance features dancer using technology as a tool to express their innermost feelings, thoughts, and experiences. It’s an exciting and dynamic performance that showcases the power of combining technology and the arts to create something new and extraordinary.

THERE IS A THIN LINE

“There is a Thin Line” traces the hidden perimeter of Europe and the Mediterranean, highlighting migratory routes. Artist @saray_perez_castilla used 3D scanning to document key sites, such as Playa de los Lances and the port of Algeciras, unveiling stories of migration, transmutation, and border criminalization. Collaborating with local groups, the project brought these “non-places” to life through sound, images, and video, creating a three-dimensional archive spanning objects, graves, and tombs. Supported by Godot Studio and JetClay, 3D ceramic printing added a powerful dimension to this artistic exploration, blending archaeology, memory, and activism.

JETCLAY ACADEMY

A specialized platform dedicated to advancing education and innovation in 3D printing with ceramics. It offers a range of programs designed to empower individuals, businesses, and institutions with the knowledge and skills needed to explore the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and digital fabrication. Through workshops, tailored courses, and the unique In Situ program, Jetclay Academy delivers hands-on training and creative solutions directly to its participants. By fostering collaboration, experimentation, and sustainability, the academy serves as a hub for pushing the boundaries of ceramic 3D printing in art, design, and industrial applications.

About the approach

Julián Trotman approaches design as a fusion of conceptual creativity, innovation, and fabrication methodologies. His process begins with open and collaborative exploration, inviting diverse perspectives and fostering dialogue. Through his expertise in digital fabrication, he develops solutions that seamlessly integrate advanced technologies with traditional craftsmanship.

A true believer in sharing knowledge and methodologies, he actively encourages collaboration among designers, makers, and industries.
