| Jayne Wallace (Newcastle University) |
|
Jayne is a practice-based researcher, with a craft and design background, whose work explores the potential of digital jewellery within personal experience and human relationships. She is currently a research associate in Culture Lab at Newcastle University and produces work as part of Patrick Olivier’s team. Jayne invokes the intensely intimate human-relational context of jewellery to meaningfully interrogate and address salient qualities of our experience of digital technologies. Key themes in this pursuit are: the notion of personal emotional significance, the relationship between enchantment and the uncanny, and the interconnected qualities of beauty and enchantment. Her work seeks to unpick collective assumptions of digital technologies, as these affect the pace and texture of our experiences with all things digital, by employing creative methods stemming from design and art practice to produce digital artefacts that rethink current assumptions as to the nature of the digital and embody counter characteristics.
