'Malcolm MuCullough (1996) suggests there is a close relationship between digital work and craft practice, arguing that hand and brain activities involved in computer use are analogous with making activities involving personal commitment and tacit knowledge.' p10
'It is liberating to work confidently in the risk free virtual environment where the constraints of the physical world are no longer limiting factors.' p10
What is So Inspiring about Digital Technologies?
'They enable the artist to make different kinds of works at different scales and in multiples. Each piece is an original. It provides all kinds of possibilities and options through the facility to modify and replicate each file.' p11 Cathy Treadaway
'The most inspiring thing about these technologies is that I can now make works that previously I either could not do by hand / conventional tooling or would take so long that they would be physically unviable to make.' Zachary Eastwood-Bloom p11
'They allow new ways of working that divorce aesthetics from parrticular making traditions. They allow freedom from 'labelled' practice, Art, Craft, Design, Jewellery, Metalsmith etc.' Lionel Dean p11
