Tacit Dialogues

​Tacit Dialogues is an Available multidisciplinary research project that explores the performative qualities of glassblowing by integrating traditional craftsmanship with digital technologies. The project addresses the challenge of capturing and translating the implicit, embodied knowledge inherent in the glassblowing process into digital data, aiming to preserve and reinterpret this intangible cultural heritage.​
Utilizing interactive and sensor-based tracking systems, Tacit Dialogues records the nuanced movements, sounds, and interactions between the glassblower, material, and tools during the creation process. This data is then transformed into visual, sonic, and spatial media by a selection of artists, offering new perspectives on the craft. The project has produced several installations that showcase the implicit choreographies of glassblowing, making the invisible aspects of the craft accessible to a broader audience.
