During her studies at the Royal College of Art, Linnea Vemes began working with creative coding and physical computing, which have since become essential to her making. Alongside digital processes, she work across glass casting, photo etching, and weaving, transforming digital making into physical artefacts. The ability to move fluidly between workshops and disciplines has enabled the artist to develop a more interdisciplinary and materially driven practice. Her ongoing research considers the future of creative education and interdisciplinary making, with a particular focus on computation, digital fabrication, and craft-based approaches.
Returning to art school provided an ideal environment to develop this research further, and the Royal College of Art offered a unique space where critical inquiry and making could coexist across disciplines. The artist’s experience of studying and working across the UK and Germany has informed her perspective on the increasing emphasis on digitalisation and technological integration within creative education. At the Royal College of Art, Linnea Vemes developed her practice across computation, digital fabrication, and craft-based material processes, working with creative coding and physical computing alongside glass casting, photo etching, weaving, and other hands-on techniques. The workshops and expertise of technicians have been integral to the development of their interdisciplinary and materially driven practice.
