#Additivism

Conférence & masterclass avec Daniel Rourke

En 2015, Morehshin Allahyari & Daniel Rourke publient le 3D Additivist Manifesto, un appel à repousser les limites de l’impression 3D, voire à les dépasser, pour s’aventurer dans la spéculation, la provocation et l’étrange. Le 3D Additivist Cookbook, publié l’année passée, compile une série de projets qui répondent à cet appel.

Dans le cadre de l’exposition Shiv Integer, iMAL invite Daniel pour une conférence sur le Manifesto+Cookbook, ainsi qu’une masterclass additiviste de deux jours.

About #Additivism

The 3D printer is a profound metaphor for our times. A technology for channeling creative endeavour, through digital processes, into the layering of raw matter excavated from ancient geological eras. Considered as a tool for art, design and engineering, and gesturing towards a forthcoming era of synthetic chemistry and biological augmentation, 3D fabrication technologies are already a site of common exchange between disciplines and material modalities. 3D fabrication can be thought of as the critical framework of #Additivism: a movement that aims to disrupt material, social, computational, and metaphysical realities through provocation, collaboration, and ‘weird’ / science fictional thinking.

#Additivism is a portmanteau of additive and activism, gesturing to the scale at which new forms of action and intervention take place. Morehshin Allahyari & Daniel Rourke's Manifesto and Cookbook question whether it’s possible to change the world without also changing ourselves, and what the implications are of taking a position. They are concerned with critiquing the role ‘radical’ new technologies might have in these changes, from fablabs, workshops, and classrooms, through to social, ecological, and global scales.

Allahyari & Rourke embrace the 3D Printer in the same way that Donna Haraway embraced the figure of the Cyborg in her influential text A Cyborg Manifesto (1983). By considering the 3D printer as a technology for remodeling thought into profound, and often nightmarish, new shapes #Additivism aims to expose in-betweens, empower the powerless, and question the presupposed.
