This project explores artistic methods of reproduction that carry historical, political, and social implications, positioning reproducibility as both a critical lens and a practical tool. The workshop brings together artists to investigate how traditional techniques and emerging digital technologies, such as printmaking, 3D-scanning, 3D-printing, and sculptural casting shape visual perception, artistic sensibility, and modes of thinking. Drawing on craft traditions while situated in a contemporary digital environment, the workshop examines how materially based knowledge persists, transforms, or loses relevance in today’s immaterial context. Participants will engage in hands-on experimentation, observing and analyzing the processes from concept to final output. By focusing onknowledge embedded in making, the workshop highlights often unarticulated insights and creates conditions for dialogue and collaboration. This approach aims to generate new understanding of reproducibility in artistic practice and to provide fertile ground for the creation of works and methodologies that could not arise otherwise.
