Designed By The Supply Chain:
Global Supply Chain Telephone uses-protagonizes-hidden creative labor from four
factories in sequence (in Peru, Portugal, India and China) as the design process for the handbag.
There Is Only One Tool In The World:
The global supply chain is a single, enormous, merged ecosystem with myriad
individual interfaces. We all, high enough up the chain, are using the same tool. And the tool is alive.
Hidden Creative Labor:
Anyone seriously engaged with manufacturing understands the factory is not a computer,
taking in perfect instructions and outputting perfect execution. The factory performs tremendous amounts of
invisible creative labor. It is found in processes, mechanisms, or techniques that succeed when they cannot be
spotted by the end consumer. It is creativity only evident, for example, in the way you cannot see a parting line.
It happens in places where the designer doesn’t even know to provide instructions.
Tool Marks Are Never Neutral:
Tools shape genres, though the tool marks may only be visible to those who are
trained in its use. This is true from 808s to FL Studio, to Gravity Sketch, to Procreate, to Lapis Lazuli pigment,
to airbrushes, to the introduction of the tomato to Italy.
