Abstract
Error, Glitch and Imperfection; these three interrelated terms denoting Loss of Control, paradoxically represent opportunities for regaining control- of intuition, serendipity & discovery in the over-determined milieu surrounding digital fabrication and contemporary computational culture. This essay reflects upon questions regarding the value of imperfection in design, value inherent in contingencies of matter, geometry and the purposeful calibration of form, encountering the forces and feedback systems that rapidly transform the “ideal,” into the sublime beauty of the “real.”
