Mass Production

Repetition, Perfection and Multiples.

I am currently interested in machinery and mass production of items. I find the process of producing items such as bottles exciting. For me this process is a comment on society's way of trying to become perfect and using technology to become faster and more efficient.

When watching 'Food: what goes into your basket?' this idea of perfection was greatened when I learnt about the process of labelling and sorting potatoes and other vegetables. Each one has to be a particular size shape and colour to be sold to the public. The fact that an apple is not being sold due to it being to big shows that we are a society controlled by perfection.

This then made me think about the way people will repeat an action over and over until they get it right/perfect again kind of mimicking a production line.

Taking all this into consideration I wanted to look at machinery vs man and see if I could replicate an object over and over.
