TOOLS OF THE TRADE TOOLS OF THE TRADE TOOLS OF THE TRADE TOOLS OF THE TRADE TOOLS OF THE TRADE TOOLS OF THE TRADE


IN CONTRAST TO THE SIMPLICITY OF THE EXPERIMENTS, IS THE COMPLEXITY OF SOME ELECTRONIC DEVICES some devices are made more complex, just because the technique exists, just because it is possible.



I started with the thought that I wanted to lift simple experiments to a higher and more aesthetic level.

This because I think that function often gets so important that the magical aspect of a machine, tool, or process fades away.

The process of making was already very important in my earlier project.

In that project I was searching for the boundary between the controllable and the uncontrollable, playing with coincidence.

A part where there is no controllability at all, is the part were you are experimenting.

it all starts with experimenting

But what would happen if experimenting isn't start, but everything there is?

This is the case with these VERY COOL EXPERIMENT BOOKS I used to had as a kid.

Pages full of experiments you could do at home,

and as a result you had a lot of excitement, but also a lot of mess left to clean up.

However, I do still think some of this experiments are very interesting

if they just would be leveled up a bit.

The experiments in the books have a very sketchy appearance,

thats also the case with the once on the internet.

Why should we let all the knowledge we used to love in our childhood go

and only use the very practical and more complex techniques?

besides that, there are also some really great experiments,

who were lifted up in an esthetic way and were placed in a different context.

^BETONLANDSCHAP/BETONLANDSCHAFT UNFOLDED


Q1. object from Boijmans van Beuningen It is actually hard to choose one object when you are in a museum with at least 3000 beautiful objects. Some of them permanent, some come and go, but I chose a work from Peter Fischli&David Weiss called betonlandschap or betonlandschaft. A concrete landscape made in 1984, placed on a balcony of the museum, outside, which also makes it more interesting for me. Because from the day it has been made, it keeps on changing, unlike most works of art who stay the same forever.

Even though it is placed outside, you still can't touch it. You have to look at it from behind the glass as if it is only natures property. It just stands there, wheter there is rain, snow or sunshine.
