Material – first taxonomies
On the classification and structuring of material and materiality in an artistic context
Different approaches to classifications
(comment: not to be understood as a complete list, more of a practical approach from different angles)
practical | artistic | production related / industrial | functional | semantic | contextualized |
material families
classified according to raw material and resources, production related / industrial
paper | wood | metal | synthetics | rubber | stone/minerals | composites | organic | smart |
material features
classified according to properties and functionalities
reacting | conductive | reusable / recyclable | moldable / shapeable | adhesive / resolvent |
or as a different example of a taxonomy: Jorge Luis Borges "Emporio celestial de conocimientos benévolos", approx. 1942, a fictitious taxonomy of animals, a "celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge":
(a) belonging to the Emperor
(b) embalmed
(c) trained
(d) piglets
(e) sirens
(f) fabulous
(g) stray dogs
(h) included in this classification
(i) trembling like crazy
(j) innumerables
(k) drawn with a very fine camelhair brush
(l) et cetera
(m) just broke the vase
(n) from a distance look like flies
