Feedback on first intervention from stakeholders & experts

Research question:

How can we encourage the Chinese traditional embroidery industry to embrace new methodologies?

Intervention:

The intervention of this project is an artifact-based intervention that receive the reactions and respones of stakeholders through works that combine Chinese embroidery and technology.

Experts:

  • Master of Chinese arts and crafts, engaged in Hunan embroidery for more than 50 years.
  • Researcher and embroidery committee expert of Hunan Museum
  • Director of Changsha Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center.
  • Director of Industrial Development Bureau of Jinxia Development Zone
  • Director of the Cultural and Creative Center of Changsha Museum

Feedback from experts

  • Highlight handcraft techniques, such as mao stitch，increase its educational significance in interactivity
  • More improvement of art forms, can add animation projection. For example, hiding the conductive thread on the surface of the embroidery.
  • Determine the theme of the embroidery work

Stakeholders：

People who has existing interest in embroidery or want to buy it

Feedback from stakeholders

  • The idea is very creative, the bird sound if more soft and crisp
  • Whether it is possible to add the element of animation, so that still pictures become animated to enhance visual spectacle and interactivity

Summary of Monday’s class

This blog has mainly helped me gain a deeper understanding of what intervention means and how it can be linked and enhanced to my personal project intervention and extension of the question of my project

What is intervention

David Mills for explaining the definition of intervention to us again.

Definition of intervention (Resources from David ‘s presentation)

From my understanding, an intervention is a behavioral strategy that affects or changes the outcome. There are many types of interventions, such as medical interventions for addicts in the medical system. the intervention can be to send the addict to a rehabilitation medical center for treatment

Intervention (TV series)

According to the results I have collected, the success rate of these addicts who are sent to rehab medical centers is 5%-10%, but if there is no intervention for these addicts, the probability of success is 0.

Difference between intervention, testing and experimental process （Cai views)

An intervention, challenges how I understand the challenge/research question. It is not about validation of my intuition but challenge it. It is not there to solely to react to a hypothesis.

A test/ testing is a tool with a hypothesis based research

Experimental process is about methodological and ontological enquries

Based on Cai’s point of view, I want to apply it to my own personal projects， Help me better understand these concepts and relate them to my personal projects.
