“…Actors are not homogeneous, including distinct subgroups with different motivations for engaging in songket practices, and different competencies to work with its materials and tools. For example, our findings confirm the previous distinction between end weavers, commission weavers, and entrepreneurial weavers [64]. This taxonomy reflects an increased autonomy from end weavers to entrepreneurial ones, as the latter benefit from the capital to purchase raw materials, the ability to travel and to find customers, and subsequently to make a profit from other weavers' work.…”

“…A growing body of HCI work has examined the digital innovation within traditional handicraft, both within Western [11,13,37,54] and developing contexts [53,64]. Such work has explored digital technologies for accessing and storing tangible and intangible cultural heritage [13], particularly in interactive museums [37] to support richer user engagement.…”

“…For example, Tan and Blevis prototyped a system to assist villagers to build pride in cultural craft by integrating maps with QR narratives of the craft [53]. With respect to the cultural heritage of songket fabric, Zhang and colleagues [64] conducted interviews with weavers in rural Malaysia. Their findings indicate key actors in songket making practices and the challenges faced by different types of weavers.…”

The growing HCI interest in developing contexts and cultural craft practices is ripe to focus on their underexplored homegrown sociotechnical infrastructures. This paper explores the creative infrastructural actions embedded within the practices of songket's supply chain in Terengganu, Malaysia. We report on contextual interviews with 92 participants including preparation workers, weavers, designers, merchants, and customers. Findings indicate that increased creative infrastructural actions are reflected in these actors' resourcefulness for mobilizing information, materials, and equipment, and for making creative artifacts through new technologies weaved within traditional practices. We propose two novel approaches to design in this craft-based infrastructure. First, we explore designing for the social layer of infrastructure and its mutually advantageous exploitative relationships rooted in culture and traditions. Second, we suggest designing for roaming value-creation artifacts, which blend physical and digital materializations of songket textile design. Developed through a collaborative and asynchronous process, we argue that these artifacts represent less-explored vehicles for value co-creation, and that sociotechnical infrastructures as emerging sites of innovation could benefit from HCI research.

Malaysia is a rich country with significant tangible and diverse intangible cultural heritage assets. The cultural heritage information must be collected in order to transmit the information to future generations. In this digital era, knowledge transmission can be easily spread using digital platforms. Furthermore, the post-Covid-19 pandemic driven necessity of digital sharing platforms. However, the status of digital cultural heritage in Malaysia is unknown. Hence, this paper will be addressed the digitization of cultural heritage implementation in Malaysia based on the published research articles. The data extracted from the Web of Science and Scopus database has been analysed using bibliometric analysis. The search keywords related to the digitization of cultural heritage has extracted about 171 documents over 15 years of publication. This finding is significant to provide local researchers and related institutions with the potential of digital cultural heritage in a post-Covid-19 pandemic. The large potential of digital cultural heritage should motivate local researchers to increase the attention on digitization cultural heritage research area. Many potential applications which are benefited cultural heritage tourism, sustainability as well as contribution to the economy. The findings from this research indicate that the trend of digitization in the cultural heritage field needs to be strengthened.
