Misalignments opens up opportunities that diverge from recent aims to optimize, mathematize, and discipline matter. Working with hybrid processes that relocate precision to the design of tools and actions, the objects in this exhibition result from direct interaction with clay. Here, material is the performer; its qualities emerge from a balancing act between geometric specification and physical behavior. We orchestrate moments of instability and anticipation in an open score that leads to different manifestations. This openness carries the promise of reintroducing authorship and promoting different understandings of labor in an otherwise increasingly automated process. It is a risky endeavor.
