The mechanical process of sculptural reproduction occupies a central position within artistic practice and machine culture. This intersection of art and technology, rooted in the Renaissance ideal of the 'uomo universale', experienced a programmatic revival among nineteenth-century sculptors who incorporated earlier pointing technologies into their artistic practice. Collaborations between artists and engineers led to mass production, transforming workshops and artistic canons.
Integrating mechanical technologies and labour processes, the study explores their continuing influence on contemporary sculptural practice. Drawing on Gilbert Simondon's concepts, it analyses analogies between mechanical inventions and sculptural work, and explores the impact of new technologies and materials.
