Material arts, craft-based practices, digital processes and technological constructs
influence, support and affect each other in multiple possible ways, each with their
own historical lineage and associated aspirations or concerns.
Just as throughout history, we cannot ignore the pace and influence of
technological progress, Paul Valery’s comments of 1936 are equally pertinent today:
“In all arts there is a physical component that cannot continue to be considered and
treated in the same way as before, no longer can it escape the effects of modern
knowledge and modern practice”. (1)
For Valery it was the advance of the mechanical age … for us it is the advance of the
digital age that is changing the physical components of our craft, quite literally.
