Prozesskette Präzisionsschmieden
Signifikante Potenziale zur Optimierung der Produktqualität und Effizienz können bei etablierten Fertigungsverfahren nur erkannt werden, wenn der gesamte Herstellungsprozess sowohl unter technologischen als auch unter logistischen Gesichtspunkten untersucht wird. Um nachhaltige Erfolge zu erzielen müssen radikale Veränderungen der Prozesskette, wie beispielsweise der Einsatz von innovativen und wirtschaftlich risikoreichen Fertigungsverfahren oder die vollständige Umgestaltung der bekannten Prozessketten, in Betracht gezogen werden. Durch prozessübergreifend abgestimmte technologische sowie logistische Maßnahmen können so bisher unbekannte und ungenutzte Optimierungspotenziale auch b...
Disruption in the Arts
The volume examines from a comparative perspective the phenomenon of aesthetic disruption within the various arts in contemporary culture. It assumes that the political potential of contemporary art is not solely derived from presenting its audiences with openly political content, but rather from creating a space of perception and interaction using formal means: a space that makes hegemonic structures of action and communication observable, thus problematizing their self-evidence. The contributions conceptualize historical and contemporary politics of form in the media, which aim to be more than mere shock strategies, which are concerned not just with the ‘narcissistic’ exhibition of art...
The stubborn life of things
We humans are invariably surrounded by things. They perform certain functions for us, whether as tools, toys, weapons, ornaments, commodities or gifts. But many of them elude our influence so that instead of controlling them, they control us, developing an unstoppable dynamism and formative energy of their own. The works of the artists in 'The Stubborn Life of Things' encourage us to think of things as more than just human prostheses and to see them rather as an archive of cultural practice or, more simply, as materialized ideas. The art assembled here inspires us to look at hat stands, cars, wall tiles and such like with new eyes, less as things than as our accomplices. 0Exhibition: KAI 10 Raum für Kunst, Düsseldorf, Germany (13.4.-6.7.2013). 0.
The Material Imagination
In recent years architectural discourse has witnessed a renewed interest in materiality under the guise of such familiar tropes as 'material honesty,' 'form finding,' or 'digital materiality.' As an alternative to a formal approach in architectural design, this book challenges readers to rethink the reverie of materials in architecture through an examination of historical precedent, architectural practice, literary sources, philosophical analyses and everyday experience. Focusing on matter as the premise of an architect’s imagination, each chapter identifies and graphically illustrates how material imagination defines the conceptual premises for making architecture.
The Fate of Irony
Irony is one of the defining characteristics of postmodernism but has it now fallen victim to an ironic twist of fate? Has it exhausted its own repertoire or is it still a meaningful strategy, a necessary aspect of our culture, or perhaps even a powerful weapon with which to defend ourselves against fundamentalist world pictures? The artistic positions presented not only demonstrate a frequently tongue-in-cheek, critical attitude to art's societal, political and social contexts and systems, but also home in on the intercultural comprehensibility of verbal and pictorial irony. Published to accompany the exhibition The Fate of Irony, April – July 2010, at KAI 10 Raum fÜr Kunst, DÜsseldorf. English and German text.
