Question

compare hand made production with machine made production

Answer 1

Handmade Advantages:  Making something by hand has the benefit of tactility.  When we literally physically interact with the tangible materials we make with, we sense the materials presence and attributes.  We comprehend that clay is soft, malleable, pliable and cool to the touch.  We soon discover that clay dries, cracks, becomes hard and sticks to our hands revealing new dynamically evolving material feature as we work.  Tactile interaction with materials facilitates an immersive experience that is free flowing.  Working with materials directly forms a cyclical interactive partnership between the artist’s mind, hands and material.  A physically natural co-generative dance between artist and materials plays out as a negotiated partnership when we ‘enact’ or ‘make’ objects.  The artist performs squeezing, shaping and forming movements and attempts to negotiate the naturally present physical properties of a lump of clay in hand.  The lump of clay responds to the artist by moving or resisting movement and counteracts the hands as they dance together somehow choreographed by the mind in a mysterious ‘intention event’.

Handmade Disadvantages: The problem with making things with our hands is that our body has limits that our mind does not.  I can imagine something that I may not be able to build with my bare hands. Some things are too hot, too cold, too strong or too brittle for our hands to forge.  In some cases, such as with the microscopic manipulations of cells or the building of a gigantic bridge, our bodies’ disproportionate scale is the limitation.  Our bodies are also somewhat slow and inaccurate and we experience fatigue. It can take a lifetime for some craftsmen to master the materials they manipulate and even then their work is not reliably repeatable.  Even if a given craftsman can make something over and over with a high degree of accuracy, the aging body will soon render any skills obsolete.  These facts and others are at the heart of a common problem for all artists that involve a frustration of trying to materialize the imaginary and thereby produce and communicate our creative expressive intention.  This problem is probably one of vanity in that we assume our imaginary to be a goal of material expression and we assume that the art objects we enact are simply vessels for our imagined will.  In fact we assume our imaginary space to be a real thing – a material thing – even before we forge it into an object in a physical place.

Tool Advantages: Tools give us the strength, speed and accuracy to go beyond our bodies physical limitations. Even the most basic tools, readily found in nature, can become useful extensions of the body and therefore of our mind as well.  A wooden pole can give us the strength to cantilever heavy stones into place quickly or a hard stone can be used to grind up tinny pigments.  Once we become aware of these tools and if they are readily available, we are able to add them to the list of possibilities in our imagination.  After using our natural surroundings as tools, we begin to build tools for more specific functions.  We forge tools out of metal and gain the strength to work with materials like lumber to higher degree of accuracy and with greater ease.  We gain speed, again updating our physical powers and simultaneously expanding our mind. We eventually mechanized our creative tools introducing kinetic motion.  This introduces a performative partnership between artist and tools like the potter’s wheel and the printing press whereby the expansion of the body and mind is beyond the material, crossing into the temporal and performative.  Soon after, we mechanize our tools is the inclination to automated our machines.  We do this to be able to perform whole tasks eliminating the need for our performed interaction and allowing for tools like the desktop 3D printer to make the entire object for us.  The introduction of computers and virtual (software) tools capable of industrial automation and even computer simulation has removed the need for physical interaction between the maker and the made object.  It is assumed that the advanced imaginary mind can travers the need for bodily expansions and operate exclusively in the ‘virtual’ expanded mind.  Even though these automated mechanized technologies propel us forward conceptually, we can see a definite move away from the requirement of the human body in the physical making process all together.  We can now simply imagine things and we don’t have to get our hands dirty making anything.  However, the advent of these new mechanized and automated ‘virtual tools’ assumes an artist’s foreknowledge and command of physical matter, and replaces the need for human and material interactions.

I KNOW ITS LONG BUT I HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU✌
