HM+CU+VC: second meeting with Vanessa – how have transitions from analog to digital served to de-center the handwork in craft, has it really gone away or just become invisible infrastructure, and how has the focus/locus of creative process shifted as a result? Tools – hand tools versus software tools, the reliability of traditional tools versus the ever-shifting innovation cycle of software tools; what is skill in the digital creative paradigm; the investment of deep preparatory time in being ready/able to quickly make great work (photography) versus the skilled-labor time of traditional slow making (painting)… In media such as weaving and printed image, how have perceptions of value/skill (in the reception of art) as well as the creative affordances perceived by makers shifted in past historical disruptions brought by technologies such as the camera and Jacquard-type looms? What has been the relative importance of digitization per se versus mechanization of processes? Have there been transitional moments in such art forms that we could try to revisit in speculative and intermedial ways?
