Jonathan Schipper "Detritus" at the BOILER






Veröffentlicht am 30.09.2013
An ambitious technological challenge wherein Jonathan Schipper designed an extruder suspended from computer controlled cables which has the ability to squirt out a salt and water mixture to create forms (like a giant 3D printer). This is all operating in an environment of twelve tons of rock salt, with a hot tub to supply the water. Starting out with basic forms, Jonathan hopes to perfect the technique until the apparatus is capable of reproducing items like an old car, toilet or tire. Despite the success of creating forms, Schipper incorporates a Robert Smithson sense entropy as one of the subjects investigated. He'll be working out the bugs for the next couple of months, and your correspondent will return to keep viewers apprised of the progress.
