This project is the final documentation of Hsiao-Wen's thesis research on craft making as a preservation methodology in the current digital age. The book consists of three parts, examining the transition between the physical and virtual, material and data, user engagement and experience from the perspective of craft making and preservation. As the world transitioned from physical activities to virtual interactions, new needs and forms of engagement with our surroundings were prompted. Such change not only exhibits via the object and the technology, but also the whole culture at large.

This project is the final documentation of Hsiao-Wen's graduate thesis research at Pratt Institute. The book was intended to be displayed during the Pratt Show in 2020 May for viewers and faculties. Unfortunately, the plan was disrupted due to the COVID pandemic and was under production for potential future exhibitions.
