In addition, attempts to redefine craft and design boundaries are developing through original thought regarding manufacturing processes and practices. This is demonstrated through the expansion of the boundaries of traditional technologies, and the widespread use of new technologies such as digital project is a compelling example of this trend. It is an on-going project (two versions of which have already been exhibited on different occasions) that essentially attempts to ask substantive questions about design and craft, and breaks the conceptual patterns we have about them: What is a series? Which knowledge is worth preserving? Why is manual work important? And what is the added value brought by new technologies?
