Artifacts of Process (An Interlude)

In the midst of public art installation season we take pause to consider more minute temporary structures- those between production and result and which are unique results of process. These intermediate typologies surface from manufacturing methods based on mechanical tendencies, production workflow, and material optimizations, manifested as clusters, trees, tessellations, stacks, overlaps, negatives, etc. Ultimately these forms are destroyed or shedded to yield the targeted product, and are then recirculated back into the production- Hence, the final objects have both the memory and physical materiality of these intermediate forms which responsive of input, informative of output, but aesthetically unique from both.
