Value Judgement uses craft materials in contrast with the technological and mechanical elements to question assumed structures of value and to introduce a sense of play and absurdity to the alienation of machines. The combination of the constant regeneration and speed of technology with supposedly low-value crafts reinforces the uncanny by creating a ‘both-and’ other, outside of a binary, or structured material hierarchy. Using cardboard on a large scale with a technical construction process ignores its disposability and lack of value repositioning it within these structures of value. This humorous and absurd combination of materials proposes an alternative where there is an adjustment of norms (that which is already valued) to accommodate otherness (that which is deemed outside of these norms).
