Ergon, (like Ergonomics) is the vision of a natural cycle, of contemporary and future steel manufacturing. From far away everything seems small, but from close range nothing is distinguishable, and that's where you enter, at the closest point possible. There, a bolt is as large as your hand and men work like ants slaving away in this furnace, which like a queen needs to be nourished and waited on, or nothing is created.
