Abstract

This work explores new ways of working with CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines within the field of arts, crafts and design, specifically in relation to woodworking, to increase possibilities of creation according to the current times and resources. The concept behind this work sets its position against systems of power and absolute control, which in a variety of forms numb societies, and diminish capacity of doing and freedom of expression by not showing alternative ways of action. The ultimate objective is to raise awareness about this condition, hoping to increase sense of empowerment in the audience, boosting their courage to take action and change realities for better.
