Industrial Phenomena #conceptual #critical #production

The project “Industrial Phenomena – Out of the Object, About the Object” critically explores how the industrial production system might have shaped the way we think, act and judge in the form of paradigms and produced objects – starting from everyday observed phenomena and ending in transformed objects.

A collection of non-standard toilet paper ends and the celebration of the non-linear, archived on handmade parchment paper made out of toilet paper.

A cordless screwdriver housing with sink marks as a physical ornament and the examination of the soulless repetitiveness of forms within plastic injection molding production processes.

Recycling an inconsistently combined cutlery set, used over decades from only one person, and its immaterial values gained over time of use to create “a new unity”, as well as questioning the mostly Western socialized understanding of high-quality of an unused product.

A “Container Collection” of recontextualized deep drawn and metal spinned rejects as well as dealing with the meaning of failure and unfulfilled expectations within industrial production processes.

The printed version of the project-documentation shows details that would normally want to be hidden. A special layout developed by Designer Oliver Häusle to the actual size of the printing paper (close to 4x DIN A5) defines the final format of the book with 0% paper waste. By integrating the usual print marks, the finished book block no longer needs to be trimmed after the individual sheets have been joined. It only needs to be split twice horizontally and vertically.
