Ji Lee is an artist who used 3D printing to create a public art project. His work, Mysterabbit, is a series of 10,000 identical, tiny bunny statues. The bunnies are shown in a mediative pose and are placed in random spots around the world. Mysterabbits have been found in South Korea, Iceland, and even the United States. The purpose of the project is to stop people in their daily routines and allow them a moment of joy and surprise when they come across the small hidden rabbit in public. By using a 3D printer to create this project, Lee was able to make the project a truly "public" work. The 3D model is available for free on its own website and people are encouraged to print their own meditating bunnies and add to the project.

Ji Lee has been part of our group show last year. He has a wonderful sense of humor and wit. A lot of his work is design-based, including playfully changing logos etc.
