research & editorial
Research on the relationship between the graphic designer and paper material, establishing a study of the main interactive properties of the material to renew the sensations generated by the creation, use, and reception of printed objects, through a return to artisanal production and printing practices.
Today, new technologies are widely ingrained, accessible, and constantly evolving, creating a digital comfort zone.
This digital comfort has tended to distance graphic designers from materiality and artisanal practices, as screens offer almost infinite possibilities for interactivity and have become the primary medium for creation. By embracing the values of craftsmanship and reconnecting with these manufacturing and production techniques, can the graphic designer break free from established norms in their practice by appropriating the material as they see fit to offer new experiences? By rethinking how we perceive paper, can the material become an object of interaction? What role can it assume in graphic design creation? This observation has led me to the following research question:
In the digital age, how can we consider paper as a medium for interactive experiences?
