Description:
Series 1, Objectile, 1993 - 2011, relates to the firm’s activities, from the production of decorative panels to the management of daily business. This series includes born-digital material and chiefly dates from 2004-2008. “Objectile” is a term first proposed by philosopher Gilles Deleuze in his book The Fold, published in 1988. It was used to name the research conducted by Bernard Cache and his associate Patrick Beaucé around the development of industrial means to produce “non-standard” objects. In his book Earth Moves (Terre Meuble), Bernard Cache describes non-standard objects as repeatable variations on a theme, such as a family of curves declining the same mathematical model. The randomness of their patterns recalls earth’s forms and curves, the way geography generates nature’s topography. Cache also wanted these folds and curves to express a relationship between the exterior (geography) and the interior (furniture) of architecture. From these ideas, the firm Objectile was founded created to industrially produce and market those non-standard objects mostly taking the form of decorative panels. Those panels and other furniture were among the first objects to be computationally designed with computer-aided design software (CAD) and then industrially built through computer numerical control (CNC). The patterns were designed through unique algorithms that could endlessly be modified and personalized. Materials in this series reflect the work of Objectile. This includes design and execution records for the different wooden panels and other furniture, which are primarily in still image and CAD formats (TopSolid, AutoCAD). There is also a significant body of material for the Objectile website (in HTML and XML formats). The series additionally includes textual documentation reflecting the administration of the firm, including accounting and legal documentation, as well as correspondence. These materials are in typical office formats and include email.

In his book Earth Moves (Terre Meuble), Bernard Cache describes non-standard objects as repeatable variations on a theme, such as a family of curves declining the same mathematical model. The randomness of their patterns recalls earth’s forms and curves, the way geography generates nature’s topography. Cache also wanted these folds and curves to express a relationship between the exterior (geography) and the interior (furniture) of architecture. From these ideas, the firm Objectile was founded created to industrially produce and market those non-standard objects mostly taking the form of decorative panels. Those panels and other furniture were among the first objects to be computationally designed with computer-aided design software (CAD) and then industrially built through computer numerical control (CNC). The patterns were designed through unique algorithms that could endlessly be modified and personalized. Materials in this series reflect the work of Objectile. This includes design and execution records for the different wooden panels and other furniture, which are primarily in still image and CAD formats (TopSolid, AutoCAD). There is also a significant body of material for the Objectile website (in HTML and XML formats). The series additionally includes textual documentation reflecting the administration of the firm, including accounting and legal documentation, as well as correspondence. These materials are in typical office formats and include email.

Description:
Series 3, Tongxian Art Center, Beijing, 2000 – 2007, documents the development of a multiphase project for a public arts complex thirty miles from Beijing. Phases are distinguished when possible. Phase I of the project is the gatehouse (realized), which consists of housing and studio space for artists-in-residence. It is conceived as a brick monolith that has been shrink-wrapped or vacuumed into its shape – a metaphor for the optimization of the building’s limited space. Regional materials are incorporated through the use of local brick and native chudumu wood on the exterior. The gatehouse was completed in 2003. Phase II of the project is the art center (unrealized), which consists of public spaces, sculpture courts, administrative spaces and infrastructural needs of the institution, connected through a series of alleyways. The layout is organized to maximize interaction between inhabitants while maintaining a level of privacy. In addition to phases I and II, records in the series document a design referred to as Tongxian Gatekeeper (unrealized). Drawings, circa 2006, illustrate a building to house animals and agriculture in the southwest corner of the Tongxian Art complex grounds. The series contains sketches, drawings and reprographic copies from pre-design to construction stages of the project, two models including a wood model of the art center and a cardboard model of the gatekeeper wall, and photographic materials. The series also contains textual documents including correspondence with on-site project coordinator Timothy Clark, as well as meeting agendas, project schedules, agreements and proposals, and other project documentation. Digital material includes photographs of construction, CAD drawings, renderings, e-mail, and a video featuring the project team. The majority of material in the series relates to phase I of the project, the gatehouse. Some files include documentation about the involvement of contemporary artist Ai Wei Wei in a supervisory role for the project.
