Arts University Plymouth’s ‘Making Futures:Beyond Objects // materiality at the edge of making’ conference panel discussion and badge making workshop
In October 2024 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) in how our data is collected and processed.
Create your own ‘Healthy Internet’ badge workshop
We re-ran a shortened version of our day-long workshop at the TEI conference which involved participants from the HCI community, but this time we worked with a range of creative practitioners and researchers from architecture, textiles and design. We used the conviviality of stitching together to discuss concerns, and/or aspirations, for how we might have a healthier relationship with the internet, while everyone creating their own badge.
