Facts. Maybe, a collection of hypotheticals: MFA Thesis - Metal

Abstract

This collection of objects, set in a hypothetical future, explores the way in which aspects of our present-day lives might be perceived in the centuries to come. Manufacturing techniques employed in the future will affect how our current modes of making are envisioned. Historically, archaeologists have allowed their own understanding of their contemporary world influence the way they interpret artifacts, corrupting our understanding of how ancient objects may have been made or how they functioned within their own societies. In the future of advanced manufacturing, will we be able to comprehend the ways of old fashioned fabrication?
