Abstract This essay poses questions about the ubiquity of terrazzo in our contemporary moment. Originally an aggregate material created by skilled craftsmen, terrazzo has since been reduced to a pattern printed on small design objects and circulated worldwide. Like wood, marble, and brick, it has been divorced from its materiality, and reduced to a reproducible graphic motif. How did terrazzo go from innocuous flooring material to icon? Why do digitally produced surfaces often imitate existing materials, rather than offering new innovative alternatives? This essay will analyze contemporary trends concerning terrazzo while considering the effects of digital practices on traditional crafts.

在水磨石中求真:数字实践与传统工艺

摘要 本文提出了关于水磨石在当今时代无处不在的问题。水磨石最初是由技艺精湛的工匠创造的聚合材料,后来被简化为印在小设计物件上的图案并在世界范围内流通。像木头、大理石和砖块一样,它已经脱离了它的物质性,并被简化为可复制的图形主题。水磨石是如何从无害的地板材料变成偶像的?为什么数字化生产的表面往往模仿现有材料,而不是提供新的创新替代品?本文将分析有关水磨石的当代趋势,同时考虑数字实践对传统工艺的影响。
