Fired and glazed pottery clay was pressed against rusting corrugated metal sheet to transfer actively decaying information on the more volatile material (metal sheets) to a pseudo permanent one (pottery clay) as a method of archiving. New information in Braille was encoded by drilling the metal sheets, translating and documenting the production process. Rusted pieces of corrugated metal were both surface treatment and formwork, this process inherited and evolved the stacking performance of a typical corrugated metal sheet.
