If drums were invented today, what would they look like?
Robot begins with the drum as object.
Begin there.
Shell, hardware, air, mass, material, finish.
Not separate decisions.
Form follows consequence.
The way a drum looks should know something about how it behaves.
Otherwise it is only surface.
The tool leaves a mark.
Machining is not hidden downstream.
It changes what can exist.
Present tense.
No costume.
Just the thing, worked until it belongs here.
The medium happens to be drums.
What remains is the object.
