Repair & Beyond:
Design Paths from Craft to Performance

修復與延伸:從工藝走向展演的設計探索

Introduction|前言

From concept to creation, every step involves choices and judgment. As AI expands creative possibilities, the program explores material renewal, kintsugi, character design, and mechanical performance. Through hands-on practice and dialogue, participants examine how materials, culture, and lived experiences shape design, developing their own approaches to creative work.

從構想到作品,每一步都涉及選擇與判斷。面對 AI 帶來的創作可能,透過材料再生、金繼修復、角色設計及機械展演,理解材料、文化與現場經驗如何影響設計,並在實作交流中建立自己的創作依據。

Creative Motivation|持續的動力

Creativity may begin with a fascination for materials, an object worth keeping, or a personal ambition. By exploring the stories behind each creator’s work, participants discover the choices, commitments, and experiences that sustain creative practice, even as ideals meet the demands of everyday life.

創作的起點,可能是對材料的著迷、一件捨不得丟棄的器物,或一份對生活的期待。
走進創作者的故事,理解作品背後的選擇與牽掛,思考人如何在理想與日常之間,持續做自己相信的事。

Creative Perspectives|建立個人觀點

Working with materials, practicing repair, and observing characters and performances offer different ways to understand expression. Through making, observation, and dialogue, participants develop personal judgment, recognize what matters to them, and carry these discoveries into future creative work.

在實作中感受材料,在修復中練習專注,從角色與展演觀察情感如何傳達。
透過製作、觀看及對話,辨認自己在意的事,將過程中的感受與發現轉化為往後創作的線索。
