STEALING FROM THE MUSEUM

Hidden Treasure

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?

Deliverables

A copy of your chosen (pre-industrial) artefact crafted from a different medium;
A well-fabricated contemporary transformations based on your chosen artefact;
A polished project wiki page;
A 1000 word statement defining where your specific 'craft' lies in relation newer technologies (Uploaded to the wiki);
An exhibition presentation, research visualisation, and oral presentation.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

User:Dionne Process Tools of the Trade

Crafting one's tools - crafting one's signature
The notion of a ‘tool’ in contemporary artistic practice is much wider than a simple hand-held implement. Tools can move material as well as ideas. Tools can fabricate as well as disseminate. Knowing one’s tools (how they are defined, designed, and put in effect) not only gives one agency, but often becomes the crux of one’s artistic practice. This holds particularly true for digital craftsmen. The current range and access to new digital instruments--from dozens of desktop CNC technologies that can make almost anything to hundreds of sensors to measure can pretty much everything--have given rise to a new wave of artist-built machines. Moreover, recent critical practices that break away from the more commercial and industrial (affirmative) applications have brought a new spectrum of objects that instrumentalise design’s potential as a discursive tool. Whether milling-out matter or carving-out meaning, this project ask you to both envision and build new tools for you practice. In this quarter you will define, design, and put into effect a new tool or medium that will strive for two main aims: it will carry your traces and signature as maker, as well as apply/reflect on the technological possibilities of our time.

-'''Filter Pixel Kristal'''
- This last filter could be a tool for the digital replica version, maybe I can laser
- cut all  these triangles on a certain material and paint them in all the right colors.
- This filter made me think about this work:
-[[File:Colored-tablrunners-all-2.jpg | 200px]] [[File:Colored-tablrunners-all-3.jpg | 200px]] [[File:Colored-tablrunners-2.jpg | 200px]]
-'''Elisa Strozyk'''
-This colorful table runner is made out of wood.
-And I am really fascinated by the bright colors and
-I think I could use this as an inspiration source for this project.
-'''Elisa''' experimented with different kinds of wood and after
-laser cutting the triangles, she'll stick every piece by hand on the fabric.
-  With the use of the '''Kristal filter''' on the painting, I can pin point each color and put it in a list
- In Illustrator I can select every color with the 'pipet' tool, this would only take me forever..
-[[File:Color selection.png | 500px]]
-'''Pipet Tool'''
-I can also choose to redo the Kristal filter and set the percentage higher, this is the outcome:
-[[File:Pixel-kristal-15.jpg | 600px]]
-'''Filter Kristal 15%'''
-[[File:Pixel-kristal-20.jpg | 600px]]
-'''Filter Kristal 20%'''
-The 20% would be better for me to pin point down the colors. And if I can make this on a big scale, then it doesn't matter that you can't recognize the painting from a close distance, once you step further away your eyes will adapt and you will see all the pixels blend together until you do recognize the painting again.
-If you take a closer look at '''Elisa's work''', you see that all the triangles have the same size and are positioned in the same way. But the '''Kristal filter''' gives shapes of different sizes and different positions, I quite like this irregularity, so I might try this instead of the same measurements.
-[[File:Colored-tablrunners-1.jpg | 300px]]
- '''Update 01/10:''' First I want to analyze the work of Gherardo Starnina step by step, so that I understand what he has made.
-In Illustrator I selected most of the colors out of the painting. The paining exists out of a lot of colors, I narrowed them down
-by making triangles and filled them with the right color. The end result looks interesting, the angles aren't really recognizable even from a distance.
-[[File:Triangle painting 1.png | 400px]]  [[File:Triangle painting 2.png | 380px]]
-[[File:Triangle painting 3.png | 400px]] [[File:Triangle painting4.png | 400px]]
-I want to categorize the colors and make five different color schemes: original, lighter, darker, brighter & softer.
-='''Transformation'''=
-'''22/09:''' 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.
-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.
-They will be made of different textile techniques, knit, weave etc. Some by hand some by machine.
