About the end of handicrafts

Prof Dr Norbert Pintsch / SPAET, IPC
At this point I may point to Art Nouveau and as one of its excellent
example the Palais Stoclet in Brussels; it only proves: Excellence
keeps standing!
For everything else is valid: When mass production predominates and
the hope is to find consumers, who are less informed and more inclined
to snap up anything offered at a super price, in the hope to be able
to call something special as their own, then it is surely the rightful
end of this article, which was anyway not real but a pseudo
handicraft.
It is not a problem to scan and reproduce a unique article with help
of CNC. This may sadden, but it is only a matter of getting used to
it, like the 2-D copies.Even an experienced buyer cannot differentiate
between the copy and the original piece. Only absolute experts with
taste, knowledge and money know to appreciate it!
All others remain silent in the spirit of delusion!
The absolute majority vanishes, in the industrial uniformity and run
for trade marks, wish for a seeming regular change through fashion and
other such actions.
Insofar, this picture depicts not only the situation of handicrafts
but also of everything which can be designed, including body products,
clothing, internal and external designing up to the whole spectrum of
industrially designed products.
Environmental protection and wastage of resources remain stuck at
discussion level only.
Conclusion: There is no reason for sadness. In each period of time,
only little remained back of cultural heritage; the meaningless taking
the transitory path,- like the falling leaves in autumn, which vanish
as dirt in the course of the year.
In the course of a human life, the direct relationship between the
creator and the created is important and has its special value,- the
economic relationship is an income generating measure and a charade.
To see through it is left to the future generations!
