About Craft as Time Capsule 本
このプロジェクトは、現在のデジタル時代における保存方法論としての工芸品製作に関するシャオウェンの論文研究の最終文書です。この本は 3 部構成で、物理的なものと仮想的なもの、素材とデータ、ユーザーの関与と体験の間の移行を、工芸品の製作と保存の観点から考察しています。世界が物理的な活動から仮想的なインタラクションに移行するにつれて、環境との関わり方の新たなニーズと形態が促されました。このような変化は、物やテクノロジーを介して現れるだけでなく、文化全体にも現れます。

- 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.
