Printing Error Series
2023
3D printed objects, drawings, writing on wall
The ‘Printing Error Series’ shows a part of the process behind the project ‘Error Gap’, which I have been working on at the Business Park Atelier. For the use of developing this installation, I bought two printers- one of them was a paper printer, the other one- a 3D. They were supposed to help me with the production of the artwork. Nevertheless, they didn’t seem to agree. As if trying to blend with the project’s topic, they started producing numerous mistakes. The paper printer was printing some odd letters, codes and numbers, no matter what file I chose, while the 3D printer started printing its own name. Again- no matter the file. Along with my lack of technical skills, the devices and I managed to produce some deeply useless objects, which were not only a source of frustration for me, but also a waste of time. I decided to focus on these mistakes and while creating some story around their appearance and by rethinking their nature, or following some made-up logic, based on a random aspect, their meanings completely shifted from being useless to being an artwork themselves, a key for developing a ‘correction’ mechanism.
