Ornament is Fine

Opposite the Aboriginal memorial exhibit was a fascinating exhibition of theses ceramic creations All done by matching with thin 'cake icing ' like tubes.
The machine is programmed and I guess designed by the artist who you see mixing it up in mixmaster then pouring it in to the tubes for the machine.
Ben Landau and Lucile Sciallano explore the ornamental effects and possibilities of ceramic 3D printing in their exhibition Ornament is fine.
This is an education Program at NGV
Alterfact is an experimental design studio created by Lucile Sciallano and Ben Landau in 2014.
Alterfact’s practice is currently focused on the use of 3D printing in clay as a small batch manufacturing process. They push the boundaries of this traditionally plastic-based medium, and play with its connotations of utilitarianism and gimmickry, as it moves into a feasible reality.
Each piece is a slowly built shape with a continuous winding of thin ceramic

The hanging loops are a feature of most pieces 
The machine at work (video hence the blur!)
Even each pice of the chandelier is a created striped piece
