Politics of Craft

The reward of creation

Antoon Theodorus Hageman

Blurb:

This work emphasizes the esthetics of craftsmanship of the technical instrument. This is an esthetic which is carefully thought through in it’s functionality but also aims to create an experience of beauty.

Interesting is that in the functionality of the technique often follows the esthetics of art, the golden ratio is intuitively implemented in the structure of the technology that is inside and in the exterior of the instrument. Although esthetics are a very important ingredient of a technical instrument they are always secondary to functionality.
