Spooncarving Let's Play

by Vladimir Elia von Arx

A let's play of a fictional, hyperrealistic woodcarving video-game. 

It puts into question what is and isn't craft in light of the now prevalent DIY and making culture on social media.

The video is satirical in nature, but I do not claim to hold an answer. It is an attempt to bring up the topic in a humorous way, so it may be approachable, and thought about.

In some ways it is also critical design, exploring a possible future of digitalisation of the making of previously physical objects.

Can something digital be handmade? And what does it take for something to be craft?
