1. What is your craft? (define your discipline, method or approach)
My one great passion and interest lies with nature. Nature is only the base which I like to expand on in which Digital Craft helps with that. It shows me possible new interests and passions. I'd like to use this minor to create a better understanding of what my craft specifically and not keep it so broad, since I feel like I keep searching every year. Perhaps the goal is to stop searching.
2. What are the tools and media of your craft?
I'd like to use exhibitions and installations to create that interaction with the public. This way perhaps more of a discussion can be evoked. The method of starting with a certain material or topic to find out what relates or is relevant to you as a person is a tool I'd like to use. My craft is currently very broad so most medias could be linked to my craft.
3. What are the borders of this practice? (what new media technologies have arisen / what is its future of the field))
I think most border are unexplored. I do see the future running on even more technologies and digital structures. Perhaps even more nature, which I love, are destroyed or ruined. Perhaps I could fight this destruction with the upcoming digital technologies. I find the digital worlds interesting but I love nature so perhaps the border is making a bridge between them.
4. Connect to a historical discourse and give concrete examples of contemporary practitioners.
The industry is dirtying more. i think there would be enough topics to focus on and bring more to the daylight. By doing this like to expose the relationship with man and nature or nature and machines. By doing this more environmental and urban issues, even ones from the past and how we are improving, could be addressed. There could some positivity connected to it instead of only tackling the 'heavy' world problems.

5. Define your position of your practice in relation to newer technologies.
We expect machines to run and water to flow, and yet it is in those moments when our expectations are not met that we truly see and appreciate the wonder in these everyday happenings. It’s in the moment of its interruption that we think to consider the simple elegance of a wave’s movement. In some ways the devices are attempting, often futilely, to simulate or mimic a natural form, system or function. When the mechanisms fail to replicate the natural system the result is a completely unique outcome. It is these unpredictable occurrences that I find most fascinating.
VERSION 2
I am a graphic designer with a one great passion and interest with nature. Nature not is only fascination. I am very interested in new technologies and how they develop. By having these two fascinations I really like to bring them together as one. I find it fascinating how nature and machines can be so contrasting yet in other cases nature can be the inspiration of many machines and their structures. I'd like to use this minor to create a better understanding of what my craft specifically. In these times I feel like the term ‘graphic designer’ is fading, perhaps because I want to be more than just a graphic designer. I will want to expand my knowledge far beyond the topic of graphic. Something that always triggered me is movement, while prints are usually still figures, there are many ways I can take movement into my work.
I'd like to make exhibitions and installations to create interaction with the public, perhaps they are invited in by the movement or maybe they need to create the movement to have that interaction between my work and the public. This way more of a discussion can be evoked or more interest for the topic of the project. I find the method of starting with a certain material very interesting. Often I stress too much about the conceptual side of a project. I feel like this method works better for me. I can explore what relates or is relevant to me as a person given any material. While working with the material concepts may arise and it will all become one natural work flow.
3. What are the borders of this practice? (what new media technologies have arisen / what is its future of the field))
I think most border are unexplored. I do see the future running on even more technologies and digital structures. Perhaps even more nature, which I love, are destroyed or ruined. Perhaps I could fight this destruction with the upcoming digital technologies. I find the digital worlds interesting but I love nature so perhaps the border is making a bridge between them.

5. Define your position of your practice in relation to newer technologies.
We expect machines to run and water to flow. Often we are disappointed, impatient and perhaps even angry when those things do not do what they want. It is in those moments when our expectations are not met that we as humans see and appreciate the wonder in these everyday happenings.
