We create sculptures and custom fabrications to help our clients tell a story and engage the viewer. Recent projects range from whimsical sculptures for Ben & Jerry’s to a realistic airplane model for Burlington International Airport, a custom Bag Balm vending machine and the Bottle Arcade Game for Casella Waste Systems.

ART + TECHNOLOGY = ALCHEMY
Arcana is about a fusion of art and technology to create something new, something magical that makes the viewer have an experience and hopefully wonder "how'd they do that?" We conduct ongoing R&D into materials, technology and software as well as experimenting with new fabrication and artistic techniques. We regularly mix traditional sculpture or hand painting techniques with a digital fabrication workflow, from 3D model output to our CNC or 3D printer; it's all fair game in creating art for our clients, to tell their stories and give the viewers a memorable experience.
Over the past year, we've begun more projects that are truly interactive. Specifically, our custom vending machine for Bag Balm and the Bottle Arcade Game for Casella Waste Systems, Inc. Its exciting to bring another level to the customer or viewer's experience and we look forward to more interactive projects in the near future. Contact us to discuss your ideas.
