I love life and everything alive, most things are alive. Three days ago, there was an amazing conference with incredible speakers about that at Kunsthaus Zürich. It changed my mind quite a bit. There were Artists, philosophers, and professors. A highlight was that we should stop talking about „NATURE“ and rather think (and try to talk) about „life“, „source of life“ or similar. When using the term nature, it appears as something different, far away, but we are actor of it. The funny thing was the title of the conference was “Intelligent NATURE”, but anyway, its good thing, feeling integrated into life and seeing life everywhere – I wish our society going towards “equal rights for ALL”.

HELLO WORLD.

Picture about what I am doing five days a week. Imitating life – stained on zirconia.

Because I usually look for the hardest material with the desired degree of opacity/translucency I started with my stl. dummy to mill/press/print different materials and sort them in a chart. That gives me a neutral overview of the property – so I need less sales-reps in my lab and know whats REALLY good;) I coloured the inside of the dummy/copping with black colour, so its like a black die. the left side shows monolithic anatomy, the right side a reduced copping for ceramics/composite/PMMA what ever (0,5mm thickness)… No 17 is the most opaque of the tested materials (L*88 with my photo setting on 0,5mm thickness), No 3 the most translucent. I just measured the value of the colour. Maybe you can use it or you do something similar. This map will certainly be expanded with more materials. Have fun and a good day! Best regards, Nando Aeschlimann
