Creative collaboration (cross-discipline)
Cloud Quilting
Developed with funding the University of Edinburgh (Data Driven Innovation Fellowship) with Bayes Centre and Edinburgh Futures Institute, I am looking to collaborate with a small group of makers/designers to test a new design tool across creative disciplines. The project offers early access to the design tool (for free) in exchange for use of high quality images of finished products and light touch feedback on the process. You will be able to work directly with an SVG file or be able to convert it (as needed). This is a human-centred project and while the use of data is fundamental to the project, the design process does not involve AI. The tool translates moments of experience tied to specific locations/dates/time into meaningful designs. The tool saves time in product development and offers the opportunity to target new audiences in the space of personalisation/customisation. Notes of interest (by email to Claire Sowton) welcomed with details of the medium/craft you work with, your design interests, link to current work (social media/website) and whether you would like to be included on a mailing list communicating next steps in this project.
