Amandine David

I am a Brussels based designer and researcher. Working with both technologists and craft masters, my practice is located at between traditional craft techniques and digital fabrication. I develop material based research in order to generate new aesthetics connecting the evolution of new technologies handicraft culture and their environment. I conceive tools, collaboration processes and languages, challenging the friction between machines and human knowledges. I am also the co-founder of Hors Pistes, a nomadic residency program that initiates encounters between craftsmen and designers and explores the value of trans-disciplinary and cross-cultural collaborations.
