- katzeye, on 11/12/2007, -3/+30These are not "handmade" in the way that most people thing of "handmade" they are slipcast (ie. mold made). They simply crushed a bunch of cans and made molds and cast the mold with liquid clay (slip). I'm also pretty sure that the drawings are not hand done, they look like decals (ceramic stickers). As a making method, it is totally legitimate (I'm a slipcaster myself) it is a great way to create details that are difficult to make by hand. As a ceramic professional (yes we exist) it is great to see ceramic art on Digg. That said,conceptually these aren't that profound, in fact they are a little Sophomoric. You can see the same thing done a hundred times over and better, by the students at the University at which I teach.
- iFungus, on 11/10/2007, -4/+17Double fail.
- NYC83, on 11/11/2007, -1/+14amazingly creative
- Treshnell, on 11/13/2007, -2/+14Um, it's no one's trash. I'm pretty sure it's someone's sculpture. From 2007.
- DesuKN, on 11/10/2007, -0/+8Space Pollution Act.
I wish I was making that up. That's a real international protocol everyone signed. - oojamaflip2006, on 11/10/2007, -2/+10grr recyled*
- ohsin, on 11/11/2007, -1/+9I would love to see one of those in hand of a "Terracotta Warrior" ;-)
- Monk22, on 11/10/2007, -1/+8why dont we just shoot our trash into the sun?
- mlvassallo, on 11/11/2007, -1/+7Soooo... it just so happens you are a Slipcaster who teaches at a university and you have seen better.... Let's see it!
- TimeIsTissue, on 11/10/2007, -2/+7that is dangerously in risk of being thrown away
- inactive, on 11/11/2007, -1/+6Coca-Cola Tea anyone?
- walugi, on 11/13/2007, -2/+7Textbook example of.
- rjam710, on 11/11/2007, -0/+3Wait, you can take that as a major!? WTF am I doing engineering for??
- HayString, on 11/10/2007, -0/+2The $$$
- vornan19, on 11/10/2007, -2/+4Umm, it's someones sculpture of trash.
Pretty trash though. - kmlixey87, on 11/10/2007, -7/+9nice! i like this because materials like this are found from all kinds of time periods, and what is trash to us is going to be dug up in hundreds of years. but instead of beautiful pottery and sculptures, they'll find cigarette butts and plastic bottles of Popov
- fwc67, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2This would make an awesome background
- ellabee, on 11/10/2007, -0/+2I think just about anything rendered in porcelain would be beautiful.
- LincolnA, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2Is that the Heroes symbol on the bottom of the can on the left...?
- mlvassallo, on 11/10/2007, -0/+1Think about that for a second... really...
- tinkafoo, on 11/10/2007, -1/+2Dammit! This is one of those simple and clever things that makes me kick myself for not thinking of it first!
- DannyBoy7783, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Someone invented the phone before Bell but no one gives a crap. Doing something better or first means nothing if you don't put yourself out there. Let's see your work and the work of your students. Put your money where you mouth is.
- inactive, on 12/04/2007, -0/+1because it would be insanely expensive. There is a huge difference between launching something into orbit and launching something entirely *out* of earth orbit. Look at the weight ratios for fuel/consumables relative to payload for the Apollo missions; rocket technology has gotten a little better, but Newton is a tough adversary and efficiencies haven't increased by much. Now scale that ratio up to landfill-sized payloads and you would need a ship as big as a skyscraper (maybe something like the Orion project http://www.peoplesarchive.com/browse/movies/1216/ ) To send such an insane engineering feat on a suicide mission just to take out the garbage would be pretty desperate.
(and there's that pesky Space Pollution Act) - MisteryMeat, on 11/10/2007, -0/+1Hello?! Most porcelain can be crushed. Try it!
- mocharabbit, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Those are really pretty.
- amirman, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1need higher res
- Monk22, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1is it pollution if it gets vaporized?
- fuwath, on 11/10/2007, -0/+0I can understand where your coming from. It is not too difficult to achieve these. I've taken many courses in wheel thrown pottery and you can achieve the same results with this method.
- amirman, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1and i thought art was over. this is awesome.
- MunkeeBoy, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1Coolest. Cans. Ever.
- azntiger1000, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1Wow surprisingly that actually looks pretty awesome!
- digeratigirl, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0Simple. effective, accessible and it has a powerful message. It is all the things that a great art piece should be. On top of that it made me laugh.
- PerfektXj, on 11/10/2007, -1/+1no crushing those
- ubergeek09, on 11/12/2007, -2/+1That's awesome, but hilarious at the same time.
- JAGUART, on 11/10/2007, -1/+0What's next? Designer Trash Bags?
- ChuckIT, on 11/10/2007, -4/+3you've missed a lot, welcome back.
- Pilot85, on 11/10/2007, -3/+1Though I think MikeonTV was being facetious.
- func, on 11/10/2007, -3/+1Mingus Dew! That's what I'm talking about.
- sherlocks, on 11/10/2007, -6/+1they should make porcelain broken beer bottles
- mrbluejello, on 11/11/2007, -8/+1THIS IS A SPAM BLOG! THEY HAVE COPIED THE ORIGINAL POST AND CALLED IT THEIR OWN!
Original Link: http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2007/11/firefox-3-gets- ... - MikeonTV, on 11/10/2007, -17/+5But how did they crush porcelain?
- placidified, on 11/10/2007, -19/+1You have heard of 3d Computer Graphics?
