Issue Date: | 2022 | Other: | In her doctoral research, A Fracturing Practice, Domingues approaches fractures and the process of fracturing in an artistic, historical, geological and technological exploration. The fracture becomes a metaphor of parts that are simultaneously and equally divisible and indivisible. Domingues brings with her craft perspectives on mastery and control over materials within physical and digital landscapes. With a background in the craft of stone cutting, Domingues is interested in understanding how materials and landscapes are cut, fractured and broken up and how the fragmentation and reconstruction of the landscape is intimately connected with human skills, techniques and technologies. She explores how the intersection of skill, craft and technologies can be considered more thoughtfully to relate to other types of intelligence, systems, patterns and sensibilities. The materiality but also the digitality of Domingues’s work emerges as a portal that mediates the micro and macro perceptions needed to speculate how the living world is an interrelation of different organisms, forces and knowledges continually in flux. Between the immense and the detailed, distinct technological and conceptual approaches to material and digital landscapes help Domingues to fragment the work from different perspectives.Through writings, jewellery, objects and installations, a technological fracture unfolds, in which ancient ideas of skill and craft engage in a dialogue with current technological and digital discourses. Craft and technology are means of questioning the kaleidoscopic ways humans have of delving into seemingly divided natural and artificial surroundings. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/38909 | Category: | T1 | Type: | Theses and Dissertations |
