Description
As part of the Arts University Plymouth’s ‘Making Futures:Beyond Objects // materiality at the edge of making’ conference we were invited to deliver a one and half hour panel discussion. HiCraft joined forces with Creative Technologist Martin Skelly from DJCAD to deliver a panel discussion that focused how we might use the characteristics found in the practices and ethos of craft to speculate on an alternative ‘healthier’ vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), and the internet more broadly, including the role in of machine learning (AI). This panel discussion drew on work created within the hiCraft project and on the related research projects that Martin Skelly has been involved in incl. ‘Decentralising Digital’ and ‘Our Friends Electric’. The audience at this arts-oriented conference was distinct from the more HCI researchers that dominate the ACM conference series (e.g. TEI, CHI, DIS) and therefore provided an opportunity disseminate project outcomes to a different audience and to discuss with craft subject experts our Craft Ethos proposition and its value.| Period | 18 Sept 2024 |
