Manifesto draft 1

Save yourself! Prepare for it! It’s coming! There is no hiding! Embrace it! The third industrial revolution! 3D printing is the future solution! No more waiting in line! Scan your own organs before it rot! 3D print a new one!

The third industrial revolution is coming and it’s driven by 3D printing.  3D printing in health industry is one of the most useful output of 3D printing. Thus In my manifesto I want to encourage further advancement. Jakab, Marga, Norottee, Murphy, Vunjak-Novakovic and Forgac (2010), have been exploring with constructing biological parts that is structurally and functionally close to native tissue. Atala (2011), is evidence that change in technology have allow advancement in artificially made kidney possible. It won’t be long till more other fully functional organs will be available. Here by, in my manifestation, I want to uses this promotion of preparing by scanning your healthy organs to highlight the fact that the third industrial revolution is coming and it is driven by 3D printing. This project wish to bring a piece of the future to the present to alert people of the arrival of the third industrial revolution.

Technology and craft - Digital tools + new industrial revolution

Thesis: Digital tools will revolutionaries industrial manufacturing.

3D Printing as digital tool

Elliott, A. (2013). Additive manufacturing. Oak Ridge, Tennessee: Oak Ridge Laboratory. US department of energy.

3D printing is a digital tool that had drop in cost a lot over the last decade. Nowadays 3D printers can print in many choice of materials and colours.

Benefit of 3D printing

Complexity is free

variety is free

no assembly required

zero skills required

zero constrains

less waste

portable affordable manufacturing

precise replication

Due to these benefit, it is foreseen that 3D printing can be the future of mass manufacturing.

2) 3D Printing future.

Lipson, H., & Kurman, M. (2013). Fabricated: The New World Of 3D Printing. Indianapolis, Indiana: Wiley.

The book suggest a future of what it will be like when the world is dominated by 3D printers. One of the hypothetical outcome is “Cloud manufacturing is a new way to make thinks that starts to replace mass manufacturing.” (Lipson, & Kurman, 2013). This questioned me, do we need mass production anymore in the future? or will personal 3D printing overtake. “in the future world people will make what they needed, when they need it, where they need it” (Lipson, & Kurman, 2013). However, we will still need manufacturing and processing of raw ingredient, therefore will that be manufactured via mass manufacturing or 3D printing?

3) Digital evolution - When things starts to think.

Gershenfeld, N. (1999). When things start to think. Macmillan. Discuss the digital evolution. One of the interesting chapter is personal fabricator. Its interesting to see the vision of the future at the time in comparison to now. Its interesting that they envisoned similar things that what we envisioned now.

The Third Eye.

At first glance, they appear to be polka dots of rusts, but look again, they are eyes that follow you. However some may say it looks like the tail of a peacock. This is dependent on individual experience, what we see or experience previously will influence how we perceive things. This is call priming, “a non-conscious form of human memory” (Tulving & Sachacter, 1990).

If we think out side of the box and be imaginative, we can see beneath the surface. My design value is to break the boundary and think outside of the norm. As the tittle suggest ‘The Third Eye’,  reference to the concept of an invisible eye that provide perception beyond ordinary. The photos encourage the viewer to explore not only the surface but to imagine other possibilities. As perception is subjective, I manipulated the photos to express and emphasise what I see beneath the surface of the photo. The photos and soundtrack attempt to convey a sense of ambiguity and curiosity to encourage the viewer to not only see one singular truth but multiple possible truth. The famous spinning dancer illusion is an optical illusion that the dancer spins in one direction but when look again it’s spinning the other way (Cherry, NA). It is a classic evidence to depict the importance of being open and to remind us to not be fixated on one sole truth. I believe that when we start to think in a different angle and not only believe in one singular solution, only then we will be more innovative.
