架构师提供的文本描述。挪威Kistefos Museet很高兴地介绍了爱尔兰艺术家john gerrard的一个雄心勃勃的网站-2013年纸浆出版社(Kistefos)。

Text description provided by the architects. Kistefos Museet, Norway is pleased to present Pulp Press (Kistefos) 2013, an ambitious site-specific commission by Irish artist John Gerrard.

Gerrard是一位在模拟领域工作的先锋艺术家，他使用的技术更多地被军事和游戏行业所采用。

Gerrard is a pioneering artist operating in the area of simulation using technologies more conventionally employed by the military and gaming industries.

纸浆出版社(Kistefos)2013年将位于基斯特福斯-博物馆雕塑公园的场地，这是位于挪威奥斯陆以北一小时的杰夫纳克19世纪造纸厂的遗址。

Pulp Press (Kistefos) 2013 will be situated in the grounds of the Kistefos-Museet Sculpture Park, the site of a 19th century paper mill in Jevnaker, an hour north of Oslo, Norway.

该作品包括一个大型投影的原印刷机的运动图像，安置在一个100平方米的浇筑混凝土展馆内，由艺术家与都柏林的建筑师A2合作设计，由维也纳Inseq设计公司处理技术设计和对象制作。这座亭子坐落在河湾的边缘，这条河是由水电驱动的，而1889年，正是这条河造就了最初的工厂。

The work consists of a large projected moving image of the original press, housed in a 100m2 poured concrete pavilion designed by the artist in collaboration with Dublinbased architects A2 with technical design and object production handled by Vienna based Inseq Design. The pavilion sits along the edge of the river Rands which powers the work by hydro-electrics – the very same river which gave rise to the original factory in 1889.

“纸浆出版社”(Kistefos)2013年是这台机器的超现实写照(1950年退役)，精心改造成一个虚拟形式。重要的是，它甚至在虚拟环境中进行了更新，以再次发挥功能。管道已经更换，阀门来源，缺少的部件由生产团队研究了一年多，所有在模拟重建。印刷机现在产生虚拟纸浆，每一个结构独特和保存的数据，在一个不断扩大的硬盘存储雕塑内的作品。

Pulp Press (Kistefos) 2013 is a hyper-realistic portrait of the machine, (which was decommissioned in 1950), painstakingly remade as a virtual form. Importantly, it has even been renovated within the virtual to function once more. Pipes have been replaced, valves sourced, missing components researched by the production team for over a year and all recreated in simulacra. The press now generates bails of virtual paper pulp, each structurally unique and preserved as data in an everexpanding store of hard drives housed sculpturally within the work.

城市经济学的罗宾·麦凯(RobinMackay)描述了这个项目：现在处于休眠状态的机械“虚拟双”，意味着要审视工业生产方式和后工业生产方式之间的不连续性；但更重要的是，它坚持要保持更基本的连续性，强调当今的“信息经济”仍然依赖物质手段，并会产生物质后果。

Robin Mackay of Urbanomic describes the project: A ‘virtual double’ of now-dormant machinery suggests an examination of the discontinuity between industrial and postindustrial modes of production; but more importantly insists upon a more fundamental continuity, emphasizing that today’s ‘information economy’ remains reliant on materialmeans and has material consequences.
