Exhibition on view June 4 - July 3, 2024
Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard

This exhibit showcases the results of exploration conducted during the Spring 2024 ceramics-focused course ‘Digital Material Systems’ offered at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD). For over a decade, faculty from the GSD have collaborated with the Harvard Ceramics Program to provide an experiential learning opportunity for design students, which links research and experimentation in emerging digital technologies within the context of ceramic material systems. This course combines technological developments relating to how things are designed (digital modeling, simulation, generative design, etc.) and how things are made (automation, computer-controlled equipment including robotics, advanced materials, etc.) in search of new opportunities. Each object represents a step along a path of exploring an idea, and each process is different from the finished product.
