I watched home made mission to mars and Tom Sachs interview with Adam Savage. What was really interesting to me was the performative aspect of the mission to mars. It was almost like the set of a movie/play with actors and everything. It was interesting to see how Sachs himself seemed to be acting during the entire video, he seems like a completely different person during the Adam Savage interview. It was interesting to hear Sachs and Savage talk about their differences when approaching building something. Savage is more obsessive and wants to know every detail and have everything planned out. On the other hand, Sachs prefers to have “the right amount of ignorance”. He says that he measures once and cuts twice, because it’s the mistakes that make an object special and stand out against the “perfect” things.
