THE EXTENSIVE SURVEY, DIGITAL ARCHIVING, DOCUMENTATION AND END USER EXPERIENCE OF THE CRAFTS IN AND AROUND HAMPI
A Dept. of Science and Technology, Govt. of India Funded Project
The Crafts Council, Karnataka, in collaboration with Jaaga Media Center will conduct an extensive survey, digital documentation and end user experience for crafts of the Hampi region before, during and after the Vijayanagara era.
In this context we will potentially look at crafts of the feudalists and/or pastoralists. We would be interested to present our findings from this project through an rich online experience, so that this would lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of Hampi crafts amongst the wider public both nationally and internationally.
Over the course of this project we will store all our findings into this Crafts Wiki. We invite artists, designers, architects, organisations, researchers and practitioners of crafts in and around Hampi interested in contributing to this database to write in!
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Our objective is to create a detailed digital archive of information on select crafts of the Hampi region. It is our goal to digitally document these processes and create an online, rich, end-user experience that is suited to the dissemination of the story of these crafts amongst the broader public.
