“To Spin. The world is spinning, and so is everything on it: you and me, the trees, the oceans, and the mountains. We may have deluded ourselves into thinking everything is stationary, but the reality is that we’re perpetually in motion. The planet is spinning around its axis and orbiting around the sun, and in a way, at this very moment, we are all products of rotation: life on Earth is only possible because of the cycles of days, seasons, and years. As Simon Bauchet writes in his article “Spinning Machines”, humans have always used rotational movement to run machines and produce the material world around us. To Spin is more than just a word: it’s a dynamic, a force, a necessity, even a philosophy. Craftspeople know this well. Their workshops are filled with spinning objects: the potter’s wheel, the wood turner’s lathe, the spool of a spinner who pulls wool to make yarn. Glass, too, can be spun by glassblowers into rondels, discs that capture the light and are the ancestors of our modern windowpanes. Antique glass is evidence of this know-how: irregular and vibrant, its appearance reflects its own artisanal production.”
