Krannert Art Museum, Illinois USA

Rotationalmouldingmachine designed by Nick Williamson
www.kam.uiuc.edu
After Hours presents the step-by-step procedure for making Rotationalmouldedshoe, from material developments and experiments to the pouring, moulding and de-moulding process, along with a menagerie of material tests and failures, culminating in the finished pair. The stylized representation of the manufacturing process resembles a factory abandoned in the middle of production, and comments on the aesthetics, value, and economics of the machine-made. Construct shows the step-by-step procedure for creating Beigefoldedshoe.
