This project uses digital fabrication to redesign wet plate photography, a 170-year-old technique, to create contemporary wet plate photography. Despite being a classical technique, wet-plate photography has a resolution and texture that is superior to that of modern digital photography. However, the depletion of old equipment is becoming increasingly serious, and the technique and culture are in danger of dying out if this situation continues. This project aims to redesign the ecosystem surrounding wet plate photography itself, not by reproducing the equipment of the time as it was, but by redesigning it in a form optimised for modern processing techniques and needs.
170年前の技術である湿板写真をデジタルファブリケーションを用いて再設計し、現代の湿板写真を作るプロジェクト。湿板写真は古典技法であるにも関わらず現代のデジタル写真と比較しても、それを凌駕するほどの解像度と質感を持ち合わせている。しかし古い機材の枯渇が深刻化し、このままでは技術や文化が途絶えてしまう危機にある。本プロジェクトでは当時の機材をそのまま再現するのではなく、現代の加工技術やニーズに最適化された形態に再設計し、湿板写真を取り囲むエコシステムそのものをリデザインすることを目的にしている。
