Dirk van der Kooij has found a robot, plucked from 100,000 hours in an assembly line. He has taken this robot and given it a new purpose. The robot creates furniture, chairs in roughly 5 hours, out of one endless line of recycled refrigerator plastic. Pigments can be added and altered by the human present. The mark the robot leaves, a relatively low resolution line that is not without imperfections in its width is left imperfect- and creates a tangible connection between the user and the way the object was manufactured. This mark and its language become the ornament of the piece.
