Abstract
BLOOD WORK 2.0
NYLON, 3D PRINTED GLASS, SUSPENSION AND FERRO FLUID
Blood Work 2.0 is a biologically inspired, transparent kinetic sculpture filled with Ferro fluid liquids contained in interlocking blown glass structures supported by a gyroscope-like framework. Liquids move as the sculpture shifts and spins, reacting to changes in its position in space and magnetic fields.
Each of the systems becomes amalgamated within a simulation and exchange of force, set in the distinct media. The work is strongly set within the emerging discipline of Digital Craftmanship where the precise 3D printed elements, made using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) can be read as techne, which, for Heidegger, does not describe Technik (technology), but constitutes the “bringing-forth of the true into the beautiful”, (Heidegger 1977, 315), allowing the auto-poiesis of the liquids to react and form second-order cycles of feedback between systems - articulating energy exchange in cybernetic cycles, extending the basic definition of ‘how to’ into the genetics of the making, and the formal reaction of itself.
