Fantastic Forgeries presents alternate histories of Dutch material culture through the research and evaluation of existing artefacts – and their appropriation, transformation and remaking. Fantastic Forgeries uses historical crafted objects as a departure point to reflect on the status and practice of craft in our contemporary society. The objects will be used as tools to examine traditional ways of making as well as a formal, tactile, and decorative inspiration to compare when stretching the boundaries of (artisanal/digital) fabrication.

In this quarter you will explore into the rich past of Dutch material culture though the Applied Arts and Design collection of the museum Boijmans van Beuningen, or pre-industrial collections of your choosing. You will choose an artefact that speaks to you through its form, function, and its surrounding folklore. You will experiment with various and scanning, modelling and production technologies in order to support the crafting of your own perfect copy of your chosen piece. The idea is to make your replica or 'fake' as convincing as possible by reproducing with detail, before breaking it open into a series of iterations that alter the form and content of the artefact. Can new rituals come about by removing the form out of its original context? Can more flamboyant objects arise by imagining and inventing the aristocrats that would use them?

Volgens Vasari was Gherardo di Jacopo Starnina één van de beroemdste en beste schilders van Florence. Starnina was van 1395 tot 1406 werkzaam in Valencia. In de Spaanse havenstad had hij kennis gemaakt met de Internationale Stijl, die in 1393 door de Duitse schilder Marçal de Sas aldaar was geïntroduceerd. Na zijn terugkeer in Florence gaf Starnina met zijn kalligrafische lijnvoering en delicate expressiviteit een nieuwe impuls aan de Florentijnse schilderkunst. Hij bevrijdde haar van de levenloze formules die van Giotto's grootse stijl waren overgebleven. Zowel Lorenzo Monaco als Lorenzo Ghiberti werden gevormd door Starnina's stijl.

Interesting parts of the paining are: the fabric details and the expression of all the different fabrics, the colors & gradients and the activities of the angles.

== '''TOOLS OF THE TRADE''' ==
The angles are making music and this element will come back in the end result.
 
Transform the angles into textile objects/sculptures with a specific shape.
 
Characteristics are texture, textile, color, shape and sound. Experiment with fabric manipulations.
 
With the use of sensors the textile will move and play a sound when someone touches it in a certain way.
 
One will represent the organ (orgel) and the other the harp.
 
The objects will have organic shapes and move on the rhythm of the sounds, so it all looks quite natural but strange at the same time.

FANTASTIC FORGERIES

User:Dionne Process Fantastic Forgeries

Fantastic Forgeries presents alternate histories of Dutch material culture through the research and evaluation of existing artefacts – and their appropriation, transformation and remaking. Fantastic Forgeries uses historical crafted objects as a departure point to reflect on the status and practice of craft in our contemporary society. The objects will be used as tools to examine traditional ways of making as well as a formal, tactile, and decorative inspiration to compare when stretching the boundaries of (artisanal/digital) fabrication. In this quarter you will explore into the rich past of Dutch material culture though the Applied Arts and Design collection of the museum Boijmans van Beuningen, or pre-industrial collections of your choosing. You will choose an artefact that speaks to you through its form, function, and its surrounding folklore. You will experiment with various and scanning, modelling and production technologies in order to support the crafting of your own perfect copy of your chosen piece. The idea is to make your replica or 'fake' as convincing as possible by reproducing with detail, before breaking it open into a series of iterations that alter the form and content of the artefact. Can new rituals come about by removing the form out of its original context? Can more flamboyant objects arise by imagining and inventing the aristocrats that would use them?
