Mission: The mission of Digital Stone Project is to provide a state-of-the-art stone fabrication facility and expert consultation for artists, architects and designers, to provide resources for the education and training of artists and students, and to engage in outreach to the public concerning the artistic process involved in digital stone sculpture. History: Emerging from the Johnson Atelier’s stone division, which pioneered digital sculpture processes in 1996, former director Walter Dusenbery and manager Christoph Sp?th joined forces with fellow sculptors Jon Isherwood, Lauren Ewing, Michael Rees, Barry X Ball, Robert Michael Smith and Lawrence Argent to create the not-for-profit Digital Stone Project at the Mercerville, New Jersey facility in 2001.
