The aim of Queering the Nørmal – Learning from Queer Culture was to cast attitudes and actions of queer communities in solid matter. Porcelain is a delicate yet durable material with many applications. The fluidity of the slip clay, the performance of casting and the transition from liquid to solid can be seen as an analogy of the dualism of normality and queerness. Due to its history as a conversation piece and known transmitter of information since classical times, the project works with the vase as an object. It speaks about culture and zeitgeist – a perfect artifact for the projects aspirations.

Through a machine learning platform individuals from various backgrounds and cultures were asked to draw a vase. By overlaying these 10.000 drawings the average form was extracted, which is considered Nørmal.
