About Craft as Time Capsule Libro
Questo progetto è la documentazione finale della ricerca di tesi di Hsiao-Wen sull'artigianato come metodologia di conservazione nell'attuale era digitale. Il libro si compone di tre parti, che esaminano la transizione tra il fisico e il virtuale, il materiale e i dati, il coinvolgimento dell'utente e l'esperienza dal punto di vista della creazione e della conservazione dell'artigianato. Mentre il mondo passava dalle attività fisiche alle interazioni virtuali, sono emerse nuove esigenze e forme di coinvolgimento con ciò che ci circonda. Tale cambiamento non solo si manifesta attraverso l'oggetto e la tecnologia, ma anche l'intera cultura in generale.

- Production Technology
- The book was intended to be printed on newsprint papers and have debossing on the cover. Unfortunately, the plan was postponed due to the pandemic.
- Research
- This research aims to look at the transition between the physical and virtual, material and data, user engagement and experience from the perspective of craft making and preservation. Craft has always been a reflection of culture and identity. As our lives transitioned from physical activities to virtual interactions, new needs and forms of engagement with our surroundings were prompted. And such change not only exhibits via the object and the technology, but also the whole culture at large.
As craft and preservation being the two main cores of this research, it is important to explore different ways to archive the research process. In addition to this book, the designer had also built a website to document the research in another format. It is also interesting to compare the same content on two different mediums. - Inspiration
- This book can be seen as an archive that not only documents the designer's research in writing but also organizes several other design projects, experiments, and references in a clear structure that supports the main thesis. The grid and the rigid layout of the book are inspired by letterpress, which plays a key role in my research on technology and web interface design.
- Project Duration
- This research started in 2019 and was finalized in May 2020. The book was designed after the completion of the research, from June to August 2020.
