importance
for involvement in the making and the
production of goods the relationship we
have between the amount of work we put
in a making and the satisfaction we get
out is deteriorating and because of the
wealth of the communities we acquired we
hardly have to invest time or effort to
get what we want we are getting careless
on how much stuff we producing leading
us to buy because we feel we have to buy
and after all it’s here is chip so why
not and when you become useless broke I
would just forget about it we buy
another one to replace the old one
because first we don’t really know what
to do with it and second because it’s
easy and we are constantly searching for
ways to improve our life and make things
easier but we forget that the things we
work the hardest for effectively are the
things we remember the best and
appreciate the most and so today we are
living in an edge of 3d printing which
is a pretty cool technology this is
going to change everything they are
calling it the force english 12
evolution this is going to change the
way we make things forever but even more
this is going to change the way we feel
about making things for the better for
the worth and that’s where my battle
begin so 3d printing allows us to search
for whatever we want on the internet and
just print it whether it is plastic
metal concrete food even human tissue
the opportunities are endless and that’s
beautiful thing but since it is
effortless to 3d print an object are we
becoming lazy and careless I feel we
know too little about how things are
actually made and how much energy it
takes to make them and why and why we
let the machine do more and more work
for us today
then what will our role in future be if
we keep on widening the gap between your
mind and technology and so I created
this installation and I would like to
so I was curious to discover how much
physical effort had to be put to to the
print and object to really make the
machine depends on me and not the other
way around I wanted to find out that if
I have to struggle to get what I want
will the result will be more meaningful
to me and so I design it build this
installation myself which is a very
simple concept the energy created by
cycling is converted into electricity it
is dense transformed and stabilized and
finally store in a battery and this same
battery powers the printer so so far it
sounds easy right well it is definitely
not and it is not because the battery is
capable of sustaining only two minutes
of battery of energy for the printer
then everything turns off this means and
here’s become interesting is that you
have to keep cycling as long as the
machine has to print and I can tell you
from my own experience 2d printing then
becomes pretty hard and this system is
not new at all during the Second World
War so do you use the exact same method
to light up a light bulb and you better
believe that this light was precious to
them because they knew that it wasn’t
just given and because they knew that
someone has to work physically for it so
don’t get me wrong I’m not saying that
we also go back to that but I’m saying
that we should remember that why things
may not have a price they still have a
cost and so did this concept improve my
relationship with my product before i
started to print i really put a lot of
thinking and what i wanted to produce i
wanted something to remember and so I
created this trophy and this little
piece of plastic here guys well I almost
died making it so you better believe
and so so using the 3d printing for this
installation at the precise purpose we
are today on the first step of what
Trudy printing can be we know and we
control what it is today that we have no
active what it would be in 50 years we
even have no idea what it will be in
five years and the situation looks like
back in the 40s 50 when plastic started
to build a new look and inward for our
society plastic was the solution for
everything in addition of an illusion of
unlimited resources and everything
became plastic toys appliance bottle
food furnitures car it was easy to make
easy to use easy to break and really
really easy to throw away there were no
warning regarding the consequences of
those use and we just can’t get rid of
them it’s Polly waiting everywhere and
we all know it so today we are standing
on the possibility to choose wisely how
we can make the best out of 3 D printing
and here a couple of fact to look at so
according to the European Union the
average I’m gonna waste generated per
European inhabitant is more than 5,000
kilos a year which actually three
thousand is actually plastic and
according to the word bank by 2100 we
will produce three times more waste than
what we’re producing now and according
to the time the 3d printing industry is
planning to grow thirty one percent
annually for the next few years so maybe
maybe we should try to slow down the
word West production by first changing
the way consumer relate to what they are
consuming a new good start for thinking
next time you’re fixing the choice ask
yourself
what do I need and what do I really want
try to use 3d printing consciously
because at the end we don’t need much we just want everything thank
