This paper documents a research project
demonstrating the potential to engage audiences,
promote practitioners and add value to craft work,
through the use of relatively low-cost and accessible
digital communications technologies in the context
of a public exhibition. The project involves: filming,
photographing and editing together audio-visual
material; the creation of a website from which to
access films and leave feedback; and a number of
options for viewing web-based film footage including
Quick Response (QR) codes and smartphone
technology, iPads and a desktop computer to deliver
internet-hosted content.
‘In the Frame’ is an interdisciplinary research project
involving a team of researchers, film-makers and
technologists, and Level 3 Contemporary Craft
students at Falmouth University. It is a pilot study
within Supercrafted,
*
a two year research project at
Falmouth University, exploring and developing online
digital interaction of benefit to craft practitioners
and stakeholders in the craft value chain, including
audiences, customers, makers and suppliers
