The Live Carbon
Engineer Sergio Durante a founding member of the WhiteBlood collective has participated in numerous international projects as a consultant and also through his own companies dealing with the use and recycling of carbon.
Currently, he has developed a composite based on recycled carbon that allows for craftsmanship and the use of colors within the material itself and thus suitable for exploitation in the artistic sphere and, therefore, has adopted sustainable modes of production based on the reuse of waste materials, helping to ensure possibilities of a new life for those materials that currently, once they reached the end of their use, were destined for disposal.
The reuse of raw materials will also provide benefits in terms of a reduction in energy consumption, and therefore in polluting emissions.
The process of making the carbon fiber prototype is particularly onerous and complex in terms of material use and requires high-profile skilled labor. Each piece is unique and is made manually by our collaborators and is supervised at every stage in order to customize each sculpture on the basis of the source material and the artistic need represented from time to time.
The Work is made from recycled carbon fibers and the material used has a traceable origin that allows for coloring with cultural and artistic content and that can be accessed on our web and social platforms. The material comes from vehicles used in aeronautics and international motorsport competitions.
The know-how has been acquired over the past twenty years, and we can boast pioneering experience in the field, including through projects co-financed and carried out in competition with top institutions of the European Union.
The technical process of making the work is unique in several respects (color, structuring, blending and pigmentation of the fibers), the details of which cannot be specifically disclosed because they are protected in the context of our intellectual property rights portfolio.
The separated fibers are then reinserted into a fabric and then used to make the Work while continuing to maintain very high performance of more than 90 percent compared to virgin fibers. The processing of “layup” of the fibers with resins, finishing and super surface finishing are entirely done by hand. As is well known, the carbon component market in which we operate in motorsport involves much simpler processing.
