Digital fabric, narrative threads : patchwork designs on history

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    The traditional crafts of quilting, embroidering and weaving may appear to be a world away from the high tech fields of computer networking, digital interface design, and database development. However, the old and new are increasingly being linked through metaphors that reveal a great deal about changing attitudes to digital technologies as they become more established and widely accessible. For historians, entering the digital world involves abandoning the materiality that has been at the heart of the print culture.
