About the Item

Blown up with lamp, collectible design Sizes: width 95 cm, depth 80 cm, height 129 cm production method: 3D printed with robot arm material: recycled plastic Finish/color: recycled cork coating, 'vegan leather' Edition: unique piece Schimmel & Schweikle have announced their solo exhibition 'A tree full of splinters' in the Everyday Gallery in Antwerp, Belgium. Rooted in material theory, Schimmel and Schweikle’s new series of works examines wood and its relationship to human progress, taking a close look at how it’s historical, cultural and political narratives have shaped the way we think of a design for centuries. Exploring the space between 3D modeling and craft, they invite us to reconsider the hierarchies between the handmade and then digitally manipulated. Simulated wooden ornaments assume a contiguously relational form to the texture they are mimicking, indistinguishable from the original except for the thin lines that give away it's 3d printed manufacturing. Wooden shelving in the shape of a branch, so perfectly tree-like that it replicates itself; the branches organic bulges repeated as if it were a block print. The pieces make you wonder which form would qualify as ‘more real’, an algorithmic search engine might decide on the 3D printed branches, as the articulation of physical properties that are attributed to wood are so perfectly pronounced in this digitally produced form. Baudrillard predicted that the simulation will become more real than the real, yet in the work of Schimmel and Schweikle they remain equals, assisting each other in function and form. Schimmel & Schweikle is an ongoing collaboration between Janne Schimmel and Moreno Schweikle. Their work revolves around the nexus of technology, art, and culture. In that realm, Schimmel & Schweikle focus on developing concepts that deal with the closing gap of the digital and physical realm. Their iconic blown-up chair has been covered on the magazine cover of magazines like Nichons and on several high-end art fairs like collectible fair in Brussels. This unique 'Blown-up with Lamp' has been introduced at the exhibition 'In Situ' in the Zaventem Ateliers in Brussels.
