Technologies like 3D printing are having a massive impact on product design through their ability to produce a ‘rapid prototype’ and are expected to revolutionize production through customization by allowing the consumer to tailor a product to their specific needs. CNC(computer numerical control)-Milling has allowed for the production of large digital designs and the use of natural materials such as wood through a subtractive process as opposed to the additive process utilized in 3D printing.
Emmett Moore will be showing a new approach for designing a one-off piece using contemporary production methods and CAD(computer-aided design) software that is available for free online. The table is a landscape of function incorporating contemporary technologies. It represents one iteration of a an infinite number of possibilities but retains the potential for mass production. Emmett Moore is a contemporary designer working in Miami, Florida, his works have been exhibited at The Miami Art Museum, Locust Projects and Gallery Diet, this is Emmett’s second exhibition at Gallery Diet.
Counter – Production is the fourth exhibition in a series for the summer of 2013 which highlights one work at a time for periods of two to three weeks. This series of exhibitions drives the viewers’ attention toward a single work within each artist’s practice. New work by Bhakti Baxter will also be exhibited, previous artists exhibited include Allan Graham, Nathlie Provosty, and Christy Gast.
