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.


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
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.
Applied acknowledge in my project
My question
How can we encourage the Chinese traditional embroidery industry to embrace new methodologies?
Intervention#1
- 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.
“Melding experiment”
Experiments combining traditional Chinese embroidery with sensors, potentiometers, animation, etc.
