Craft, computing & culture
Daniela K. Rosner · 2012
My doctoral research investigates how digital technologies are woven into the production and consumption of the artifacts we create. To date I have explored these issues in the work of handcraft where I find that social networking sites and software are not only seen as key channels for organizing and propagating material; they are also worked with as material in themselves. I further find that IT contributes to the longevity of cultural material, a concept that challenges mainstream notions of digital media as ephemeral and separate from matter.
