Starting point
First experiment with analog printing. I put some sort of analog printing device inside a box, the printer would print other boxes.
Second time around I experimented with making printing patterns and giving live demonstrations.
For me this project revolved around making, craft and fighting against the loss of knowledge. In the age of mass production I see less characteristics in our daily tools and objects, I wonder how this affects our imagination.
As Robert McLiam Wilson writes, in the introduction Wild at Heart for WilderMann, 'Plugged in, neurotically wi-fied and G3d as we are, we yearn to re-establish contact with the actual, the primal, the old. We dream of something real, something unmitigated by the filter of profit-making portals and franchises. We want the as-was, the erstwhile. We languish for the non-mechanical and the pre- or post-industrial. We are pilgrims seeking the past, the genuine, the individual.'
I believe we will find this genuine and individual part in the act of making / producing.
Possibilities
GENERATIVE ART. Analog generating of patterns. If I choose to do this, the focus will be on the result (?).
GHOST MACHINES. Building new and alien mechanical systems from old machines. Revolves around the machine.
PRODUCTION LOOP. Building a machine that would have to be in a constant production loop to show result. (!) Intentionally I would be in the catagory: criticism on mass production. Is this something that I would want?
WORKSHOP. To use other people to make a collection / mix of old and new printing techniques.
FAILED TECHNOLOGY. Empower to understand new technologies by resurrecting what is "dead".
Questions
Whats the value of doing this nowadays? What is so special?
Whats is your goal? Wat do you want to achieve?
What is the thread you are interested in?
Without being specific or exemplary, what is the project about?
What is the focus of this project?
When the machine produces, who owns the production?
You talk about craft, what would have been your craft if you lived back then?
I think I would live on some kind of junkyard, collecting all the strange curious of that age.
How does the printing surface relate to the printing mechanism?
How does technology influence the way the imagined result?
(!) What is the name of the project? (!)
Mindmap
Interesting work
Laurie Anderson 'Technology is the campfire around which we tell stories' [1]
Zoro Feigl, Conveyor series [2] Interesting because without production there is no result, which is a nice metaphor.
Daniel Watkins, Water Printer In the collective imagination, the machine, more than anything else, is a synonym for utility and efficiency. The Californian artist Daniel Watkins has built a machine in order to overturn these convictions, leaving space for reflection: a challenge to the concept of the future based on the validity of these processes.[3]
Failed technology
Who are the winners and who the losers?
