Type of 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.
Feedback and adjustments from the August 8 tutorial
After a Tutoria with Richard on August 8, he suggested that I should try to contact Embroidery Magazines as well as Craft Council, I have sent them an email and am waiting for their response. on the other hand, I have to narrow down my stakeholders from people who don’t know about Chinese embroidery specifically to people who are interested in Chinese embroidery or even embroidery, or even people who are willing to buy embroidery, which was really helpful and made it easier and faster when I did the intervention.
I will split into online and offline intervention. The online intervention is by sending short videos，posts to social platforms. Offline interventions involve stakeholders personally participating in my interactive work and getting feedback through both forms.
Online intervention
For this online intervention, I posted videos of my work to TIKTOK (with the embroidery hashtag attached), and to REDDIT’s digital embroidery community.
The work has received a total of 652 likes and 17 comments on tiktok.Basically most of the feedback was that it was great and ask me that how I did it. It was hard for me to get progress on this intervention on tiktok because it was all met with good feedback.
This feedback was really helpful, as this poster shared the FBk design and his thoughts on electroluminescent wire and sound interaction! I’ll go ahead and research what FBk design is and his ideas.
Offonline intervention
I chose the location of this offline intervention in China Town because I thought there were lots of people and interested in Chinese culture.
I created a “Free Chinese Embroidery” poster to try to attract the attention of my stakeholders, who would not be attracted if they were not my stakeholders, and then planned to invite them to do my intervention when I attracted them.
Luckily, the Singaporean, who is an engineer, said there was nothing special about this work for him, as well as he suggested whether I could replace the crocodile clips with needles, a conductive metal material, and then trigger different sounds or change the color of the thread through the audience’s own actions of threading the needle. It was a bit of a hit, but it was a source of progress. I will look into the implementability of this idea!
It is worth mentioning that the offline intervention was held from 10.30 am to 12 am on 13th August，a total of 10 stakeholders were attracted from this intervention, 9 of whom were come form China, Singapore, Taiwan and the remaining one was Pakistani.
