Introduction meeting to the primer project included introductions to product anatomy as well assemblages with the challenge of representing the spaces in-between components.
“The quality of having an inside is almost anthropomorphic…
creating the uncanny sense of sharing the space with another person.”
Robert Fried, 1967
part one :
select an artefact or assemblage which has personal meaning for you
Document this/ these:
the components
their relationship to one another
(or perhaps the spaces between them)
… precisely and beautifully
part two:
write three descriptions:
- a physical description
e.g. material, form, manufacturing process, etc.
- its ‘value’
e.g. use vs. exchange value; symbolism, or personal meaning
- its relational or associational connections
e.g. physical or social relationship to other components in the artefact/ assemblage; where do the materials come from and how are they produced; narratives, archetypes, history, etc.
