I particularly love the term 'tangible digital' that Tilman Baumgärtel proposes. I'm noticing an interest among artists not only in 3D printing but also digital embroidery. The latter, like Lichty's tapestries, contribute to a sense of the material as well as the once exclusively handmade craft, a practice attributed to domesticity, cultural marking, and durability. Despite machine practices and mass production of both, the digital factor is what seems to pique artists' interest in incorporating this expressive medium into their practices.
