Explore the innovative works of sixteen American artists who blend digital technologies with traditional craft materials. From a cabriole-legged table, exhibited with an oversized funnel, that spent two months in the ocean to glass reliquaries containing videos of extinct objects such as encyclopedias and typewriters, these works blur the boundaries between the traditionally established categories of craft, art, and design.
