GranArtesana

Designers: Carlos Eduardo Ordoñez García and Josue Prieto Díaz

GranArtesana is a machine that aims to analyze the perception of craftsmanship in Mexico through the production of an object, using cochineal as the key material. Since Pre-Hispanic times, this natural dye has been used by artisans, the knowledge and expertise needed to manipulate the material transmitted from one generation to the other. Using mechanical brushes this machine decorates a small vase using cochineal pigment, prompting the question: Is it possible to replicate traditional hand craftsmanship through a machine and how will we know with certainty when work is done by a craftsman?
