Object

Residual Objects

A failed 3D print becomes an origin point. A nozzle clog produces a machinic asteroid; instead of troubleshooting away the failure, the object is allowed to persist, scanned, compressed, and reinterpreted across platforms. Failure becomes a generative condition and the beginning of a new object body.

Failure as a generative condition

Giclée print A1

A failed 3D print became the starting point. A 3 hour nozzle clog gave me this machinic asteroid. Instead of going into troubleshooting it, I let the object persist: scanned, compressed, and reinterpreted across platforms. Giving it new life.

This work marks the beginning of a new body of objects for the year, using failure as a generative condition.
