Performative Extrusion
Reshaping methods of ceramic extrusion
Performative Extrusion is the result of an experimental design process: carrying out tests, observing processes, checking results, creating new knowledge, feeding in insights and repeating processes. Experimentation is an uncommon design process that offers the possibilities to try new approaches and come across new aesthetic and technical results.
In this project, the process of extrusion is detached from the industrial context and examined in an analogous process. Which further potential does this process technology hold within that goes beyond the production of endlessly straight strands? How can movement be incorporated and the aesthetic potential be exploited?
Performative Extrusion is a method of reshaping extruded ceramic mass. The nature of the die determines movement, form and function. Performative Extrusion is new and provides insights into the design of knowledge production.
