I like to think I am smarter than computers, which is why I constantly work with them. Collaborating with machines allows a level of unpredictability between the process & the product from missing vectors in a laser cut, half-printed 3D horses, or a deflated butter dish. Unreliable collaborators in this fashion is an allegory to unreliability in things we don’t see but consume, like faulty seams in a shirt.1
