The robot revolution: Creative embrace of computer technology – Overview of the creativity and flexibility afforded by 3D printing, but raises a question that we’ve had on our minds as well:
But in a culture and an industry driven by newness, do we risk losing a passion for handcrafted objects and the workforce of craftspeople to make them?
“Three-dimensional printing has revolutionised the way unseen elements of 3D objects, such as gears and hinges, are created in jewellery and watches, as well as in medicine, aviation and motoring,” says Wendy Meakin, a senior lecturer in visual cultural studies at Central Saint Martin’s for 15 years and a dealer in the upcoming series of Channel 4 show Four Rooms.
“Yet tailors, shoemakers, jewellers and watchmakers are the people who create the objects we most covet.”
“As a society, we need to nurture these individuals and understand the value of something ‘human made’. Ultimately, how automated a world do we want to live in?”
