IL MACELLAIO is coming out from the cd-rom "the Slicer"
( Tangible Interface Laboratory - Bauhaus Universitaet Weimar )
We are always on the mix dimension, but at this time the industrial machines are the musical instruments, that give the techno-noise time to the food instruments, placed in a tecno-industrial werkstatte kitchen. The concept is related to the cyber-gastronomy experience . The cd-rom is a folkloristic project about one optical machine that makes lens for glass in a factory at Dusseldorf. The cd-rom sounds like a joke to this firma, because they spent a lot of money for the design of this machine, (made by Porsche), The optical-machine seems to be like a comical coffeepot, that leeds to an ugly design.
Those things maked us laugh, afterward we seriously thought to project for the laboratory course a Slicer Machine for the ham cutting, inspirated from the rude and violent behaviour of a butcher.
The people who are responsible for the marketing has taken place at the presentation of the lab. in Weimar, and they laughed as well for the bizzarre relation-ship that we made.
But we still don't know, if they have understood our joke ..........
