I have been reflecting on the answers of these stakeholders and all feedback I received in the past few days. The common point in their answers to the current Chinese traditional embroidery questions is that they feel that traditional Chinese embroidery needs innovation and needs to keep up with the pace of the contemporay society, such as the content of traditional embroidery (embroidery content) It can’t be old-fashion , it must be combined with the current mainstream art forms (such as contemporary art or surrealism ）and contemporary aesthetics(such as Bauhaus designs，a lack of ornament, the use of clean lines, smooth surfaces and geometric shapes）. Some feedbacks is that traditional Chinese embroidery and technology need to be integrated together, such as sound, light and shadow and other elements into the static embroidery screen.
Diana also gave me some useful feedback on Monday. She said that my topic can have 3 directions. The first direction is to change the traditional embroidery education or training mode. The second direction is to do some handicrafts. The third direction is that these two directions can also be combined at the same time. And when I asked her how she would do intervention if she were me, she said she would probably revolve around some combination of embroidery and technology. And she thinks the most important thing for my project to focus on is how long and how much my embroidery work will cost. Maybe for personal reasons, I will let my mother participate in embroidery, because I don’t need to spend money because of this special relationship, but I will also consider, how can I make up for the embroidery time? Or how can I make this craft work in a short period of time. I hope that this project is the best in both creative expression and embroidery craftsmanship, so that it can be attractive enough and be instructive and futuristic in how traditional craftsmanship develops. I want to express my concept of the future of Chinese embroidery based on this project, so that more people can discover that this thing has never been seen in traditional embroidery, or they were inspired by my project and thus influenced by traditional Chinese culture. I’m very happy to be a pioneer in this tradional culture industry.
To sum up, based on these feedbacks, I personally have great enthusiasm for this project to make an embroidery interactive installation combined with technology. This technology has interactive elements in it. I need to consider how to add the feelings of these human factors to the interactive technology. What type of sensors do I use, how to use these interactive devices, and how to combine these interactive elements with hand embroidery are also the directions that I need to explore with relevant coding or programming experts or companies in the next step.
