Description/Abstract:

This paper presents an innovative creative process for designing ceramic vessels. The authors detail how three disparate concepts – mobile device-driven creativity, digitally designed and fabricated ceramics, and multi-sensor data fusion – are unified and applied to an emerging practice where sensor data are used to generate vessel designs via a prototype smartphone app. A pilot study is presented, where users in a variety of locations tested the app and their designs were 3D printed, with location becoming a tangible parameter. Results show the feasibility of using data-fusion, mobile devices, and digital fabrication to create physical, location-specific artefacts. Broad implications and potential ways forward are then discussed.
