This work is part of the Delay Glass project that encompasses research and three-dimensional animation that revisits and technologically reactivates Marcel Duchamp's Great Glass. The work proposes a conceptual and technological restoration of the unfinished Duchampian piece, accessing its internal structures from scientific, mechanical and digital contributions. The work reinterprets the machinist devices present in the original work through contemporary 3D modeling and animation tools, generating an expanded reading that combines formal analysis, technical speculation and virtual reconstruction.
The aesthetic is characterized by a black and white visual language, close to industrial and technical design. Diagrams, mechanical structures and digital visualization refer to both engineering and Duchamp's conceptual imaginary.
