Ceramic Thinging
‘Ceramic Thinging’ will focus on how digital technologies can be used to augment how we experience traditional ceramic objects through sound and touch. This talk will illustrate through a series of ceramic works my ongoing research into how physical computing, ceramic materiality, traditional craft skills, digital fabrication and augmenting technologies can be combined to create interactive works which extend our experiences of familiar ceramic objects. The talk explores how shifting a pot from the sphere of static object to interface, allows for more fluid and relational transactions for the audience/user.
