Craft + Technology at the Watershed, Bristol.

Yesterday I went to the showcase event marking the end of these 3 month residencies which saw makers working with technologists to explore ideas which combine craft, culture and technology.  They came up with three very different projects that incorporate human/digital interaction in unexpected ways - a flying skirt, a memory box for people with dementia and a hug and pay system. It was fascinating and intriguing, both the ideas and hearing about how the collaboration worked.  You can read about the project at WWW.watershed.co.UK/ished and  they will be uploading a film from this event soon.

What an unusual approach - it sounds fascinating. Thankyou for the link to that website. I just haven't had the time or energy to visit any exhibitions recently.
