Art and Manufacturing
Posted by BViews on February 18, 2009
Used forklift for sale was what the sign said. It was an artistic display of old abandoned manufacturing tools and machines. The California forklift art show was held at the California fairgrounds in Sacramento. This particular show was to showcase how much things have changed in manufacturing over the years. I was really impressed by the differences in the machines and tools and what an impact they have made in our growth as a country in the last 100 years or so. Being presented with these different machines and tools and seeing their modifications as the years went by were amazing to see.
I would have never thought to have done an art show where the main subject was manufacturing tools and machines. It does not sound as though that would be an art show that people are interested in. But the amount of people that were there to see the presentation surprised me. People, I think have a natural affinity for seeing where we came from in regards to the tools and machines that shaped our nation. Having that available in front of you, keeps you thinking about how much further we will even be going in the future.
