In previous blog posts I have discovered that the idea of placing meaning upon objects is actually a global and maybe instinctual thing. This has led me to believe that a way in which i could explain my method of artistic influence is by first applying my methodology to a more public audience rather than a more personal one. For instance everybody uses a pen and i think not even some of my family knew my Aunt. This will allow me to place meaning on product and this will hopefully allow me to experiment and see the relationship with object and creation, from inventor to object and how personifying objects with intent of its history may have consequences which could supply comedy.
The Bowler Hat
This iconic hard felt hat is named after William Bowler, the English hatter who created it in 1850. It is believed that Edward Coke, the younger brother of the 2ndEarl of Leicester, initially commissioned the design for his gamekeepers who needed to protect their heads from low-hanging branches while on horseback.
Braille
It was the French educator Louis Braille who gave his name to a form of written language for the blind or visually impaired – now simply known as Braille. Interestingly, Braille devised the system after learning of the military cryptography of French Army Captain Charles Barbier. The officer had come up with a code of dots impressed on paper that allowed soldiers to communicate in the dark.
Diesel
French-born German engineer Rudolf Diesel is credited with inventing the diesel engine (also known simply as diesel). He patented the design for a new, more efficient internal-combustion engine in 1892; the first prototype was exhibited in 1897.
Ferris Wheel
The original Ferris wheel was constructed by the American engineer George W. G. Ferris. It was opened at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 as the largest attraction with a height of 80.4 metres, intended to rival the centrepiece of the 1889 Paris Exposition – the Eiffel Tower.
Heimlich manoeuvre
The term Heimlich manoeuvre is eponymously derived from the name of Henry Judah Heimlich, the American doctor who developed the procedure in the 1970s.
Mason Jar
This wide-mouthed glass jar, commonly also referred to as Mason, was created by the American tinsmith John Landis Mason, who was granted a US patent in 1858. Sadly his invention didn’t make him rich – Mason died in poverty in 1902.
Petri Dish
German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri was working at the Kaiserliches Gesundheitsamt (Imperial Health Office) in Berlin from 1877 to 1879 as an assistant to Robert Koch when he invented a transparent dish used for the culture of microorganisms – the Petri dish.
Pilates
Pilates – a system of exercises using special apparatus – got its name from Joseph Pilates, a German-born physical fitness specialist. He developed the system in the UK and US during the first half of the 20th century after having studied both Eastern and Western forms of exercise.
