Objeciones textiles: interferencias y activismo textil-digital

Abstract

Resumen En este artículo analizamos tres formas en que la materialidad y el hacer textil artesanal interfieren en la manera en que nos relacionamos con el diseño de tecnologías digitales. Primero, la forma en que lo textil sostiene lo digital, revelando redes de trabajo y cuidado que soportan el diseño de tecnologías. Segundo, los modos en que el hacer textil transforma los lenguajes del diseño en ingeniería, permitiendo que las dimensiones afectivas de éste emerjan. Y tercero la forma en que las temporalidades del hacer textil ralentizan valores de eficiencia y productividad propios de la ingeniería.

Encapsulating creative collaborations: A case study in the design of cement tiles

“…While this position might be reasonable in the context of developed economies, recent works started to contest the frictionless adoption of these discourses in the Global South, 6 to evaluate regional challenges in CAAD practice and education, 7 and to propose alternatives to the dominant view of technology as neutral or autonomous. 8 Other works 9–13 address this duality between craftsmanship and computation in different cultural contexts through ethnographic research and encoding of practices, demonstrating possibilities for exploring interactions between disciplines that document traditional knowledge and expand their applications. More recently, Noel 14 elaborated on Computational Regionalism as a process that addresses the gap between traditional techniques and computation in architecture, establishing a framework to combine both while being attentive to the repatriation of this new knowledge.…”

“…Within this line of research, different authors demonstrate the possibilities of interacting with traditional craftsmanship through computational tools and methods. Cortés-Rico and Pérez-Bustos 9 reflected on the interactions between textile craftsmanship and digital tools in Colombia, noting that there needs to be a mutual exchange between these two domains to ensure that one does not overshadow the other and to prevent the digital from contributing to the disappearance of the artisanal work, underscoring the importance of comprehending which stages should be reinterpreted or encoded using digital tools. Cortés-Rico and Pérez-Bustos also note that the act of making the artifact is when the exchange of knowledge between disciplines occurs, indicating its indispensability and significance when conducting this kind of research.…”
