Abstract
This paper describes a practice-based investigation into a research collaboration with a particular digital technology (*ceramic 3D digital printing) and how it has been used to create 'new' data objects that are centred around damage, renewal & transformation. As a visual cartographer and object maker this work emerges from a *South West Creative Technology Network Automation Fellowship (* Research England CCF, 2020) which focused on enhancing ideas and enquiries around the theme of broken lines and regeneration. In many cases, objects can be a vital source for human well-being; these can include artefacts with historical happy memories or plants which boost and encourage positive thoughts of evolution and lifecycle. Whilst artefacts play a key role in how we sense and make sense of the relationships between ourselves and our non-human environments there is much to be explored when ‘designing’ new ‘things’ for the purpose of understanding disruption and rebuild. The presentation will include describing a new working partnership with a ‘non-human’ and the ‘designing’ and ‘co-creating’ of objects to preserve, re/generate and nourish our affective, sensory and conceptual relationships with artefacts in order to embrace perceived understandings of damage, disruption and repair.
