About

Kaiko Kivi is an artist and researcher working at the intersection of digital fabrication, ceramics, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Their work explores how robotic 3D printing can expand the material and conceptual possibilities of ceramics, bridging art, architecture, and craft. Kivi’s most cited paper, “Loading Ceramics: Visualising Possibilities of Robotics in Ceramics” (2024), introduces a pioneering artistic research project that uses artist-in-residency and exhibition formats as methods for inquiry. This work unites artists and architects to collaboratively develop a curatorial concept and hands-on experiments with robotic clay printing. Though early in its citation impact, the project has already garnered attention for its innovative approach to merging traditional ceramic techniques with cutting-edge robotics. Kivi’s contributions are significant for opening new dialogues between digital fabrication and tactile, material-based art practices. Their research offers a compelling model for how artistic residencies can serve as laboratories for technological and aesthetic exploration, inspiring both practitioners and scholars in digital craft and design research.
