Arts & Crafts Matters in a Digital Society! - Group Show
Description
The diverse cultural background of the participants was the basis of the collaborative projects that emerged in the Summer School "Arts and Crafts matter in a Digital Society". The works oscillate virtuously between applied use, artistic positions and craft tradition. With innovative approaches and ideas, the interculturally collaborating students reflect on their own view of how arts and crafts and digital aesthetics can interweave to form a dense web of personal and cultural history.
In the process, application-oriented results, artistic-social positions as well as definitions of future craft production and -distribution processes emerged. The focus was always on the duality of digital technologies and craft processes and the participants' own experimentation and exploration.
In addition to the process of global digital cooperation, which was not easy to master, and the different cultural craft traditions in the groups of students led to a fruitful discussion about identity and tradition. Mutual mediation was an important aspect of this. In the end, the results realised with digital printing show the high quality of the individual works in the groups in terms of design and craftsmanship.
