DIGITAL TREASUREY - The computer in the arts and crafts

"With their newest exhibition, the gallery craft the importance of the computer for the arts and crafts at the center. The impact on the crafts and applied arts are demonstrated by examples from the trades of glass, wood, ceramic, plastic, jewelry and textiles in particular.
Technical knowledge and craftsmanship are a prerequisite for any artist for an innovative and demanding quality work. The computer serves both as a design medium, on the other hand, he is also involved in the production process. The textile industry was the pioneer in computer-aided design process, which is now part of the design schools of education. During the exhibition the relationship between the use of your computer and the techniques will be explored traditional crafts, in addition, the relationships between modern art and the craft explored. Therefore, the designers develop their own computer programs, or work closely with software developers. With these programs, they generate forms to edit or make drawings and photographs alienate. Furthermore, the computer is used for shape recovery by directly controlling the machines that produce the object, or use a laser cut".

"The gallery presents work hand in her new exhibition, the theme of "Digital design corpus". The aim of this exhibition is to document the various applications, processes and effects of computer use in the crafts and applied arts. We want to show in this exhibition, as has emerged in the last 20 years in many areas of arts and crafts to work with the computer tool.
One aim of the exhibition is to show that design and design processes close to these developments do not occur and thereby a new form of language can. The impact on the crafts and applied arts, we show examples of the trades of jewelery, ceramics, glass, ceramic, plastic, wood, and especially textiles, which was the pioneer in computer-aided design. Today this process at many design schools already part of the educational program.
The computer serves as a design aid and media design, on the other hand, he is involved in the production process. The designers develop computer programs and work closely with software developers to create the basis for their designs. These programs can generate forms, make drawings, editing photos, or alienate, which are then printed directly, or applied as decals. On the other hand, the computer is used to form self-generation by directly controlling the machines that produce the object, or use a laser cut. The range of new technology, we show with exhibits and selected for this range of exemplary designers from Germany, Great Britain, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Finland, Netherlands, Poland, USA and Australia.

The aim of the exhibition is to explore the relationship between the use of your computer and the traditional crafts and to explore the relationship between modern technology and craftsmanship. For designers who are dedicated to this subject, this means above all that they explore the usefulness of the computer as a medium. This can be avoided even aware of perfection and just the individual of each object with its specific material properties are highlighted and tracked. Here are the technical knowledge and the skills essential for the innovative and high quality works in the exhibition. The preoccupation with the computer is at a high level of reflection, she critically discusses the possibilities for designing new processes and elaborations.

Working with a computer can be the boundaries between craft and design are becoming increasingly blurred. The exhibition at the gallery displays works by 35 craft exhibitors and their different positions on this issue."
