Key Areas:
Digital Documentation & Archives
Digital recording of craft processes, techniques, and materials through video, photography, 3D technologies, structured databases, and digital archives.
Innovation Tools for Craft & Design
Application of digital and technological tools (design tech, AI, digital fabrication) for research, prototyping, and the advancement of professional practices.
Hybrid & Digital Formats
Development of new formats for presenting craft and design, including hybrid exhibitions, digital showcases, online laboratories, and interactive platforms.
Knowledge Access & Distribution
Expansion of access to professional knowledge through digital libraries, educational platforms, and open professional resources.
Ethics, Data & Digital Responsibility
Development of principles for the ethical use of digital technologies, data, and content in the fields of craft and design.
Implementation Formats:
digital research projects;
development of archives and databases;
experimental laboratories;
pilot digital projects and prototypes;
methodological and analytical materials.
Target Groups:
craftspeople and artisans;
designers and studios;
researchers and curators;
educational and cultural institutions;
technology and creative partners.
Outcome:
preserved and accessible digital knowledge;
new tools and working formats;
expanded professional dialogue;
integration of craft and design into the digital environment of the 21st century.
Role of ECCD
ECCD acts as an initiator and methodological coordinator, ensuring professional standards, international comparability, and the responsible use of digital tools, without reducing craft to technological fetishism.
Programme Objectives:
creation of a digital knowledge infrastructure for craft and design;
integration of innovative tools into professional practice;
development of new formats for presentation and communication;
support for responsible and considered use of technology.
Innovation & Digital
Innovation & Digital is a programme of the Eurasian Council for Craft and Design focused on the development of digital documentation, innovative tools, and new formats for the presentation of craft and design.
The programme approaches digital technologies not as a replacement for craft and design, but as instruments for preservation, development, and professional communication, capable of expanding access to knowledge and strengthening its contemporary application.
