Educating Savvas

Computer Numerical Control

How to

X Carve

This channel in part takes its name from the 1980's movie Educating Rita, an archetype of the somewhat blander and oedipal tourist programme, Lost in Translation. One plots the journey of self discovery by a working class woman from Liverpool, who navigates the lofty environment of an Open University course. The other suggests meeting Bill Murray while travelling in a hyper capitalist society, is the only solution to the inherent anxieties of modern life. As true as that may be, we are still more likely to partake in self initiated learning than have the opportunity to associate with Bill Murray.

CNC or Computer Numerical Controlled technology is fast becoming a feature of making in the small workshop. This channel has become about engaging with the mechanics and presence of this technology.
