The Digital Bespoke? is about mass customization, 3D printing,
human bodies, and the step towards digitally built objects made to
individual specifications. The author argues that the modes of
customization offered by digital fabrication and mass production
have more in common with their industrial predecessors than with
craft-based customization. Using case studies of historical and
current practices from Europe, Africa, and North America to ground
her theory, she investigates where digital fabrication technologies
have developed from and how their uses differ from existing modes
of production. Digital fabrication and mass customization are
concepts encompassing broad ecosystems of technologies and
practices. Both are increasingly implemented and hyped. As such, it
is imperative to address not just their potential, but their
challenges. Written for a scholarly audience and for design
practitioners concerned with the social and political impacts of
digital fabrication and mass customization, this book will be a
useful reference point for students and researchers in digital and
analogue design, technology, and material culture.
