Abstract

Reco(r)ding CripTech documents the creative processes of five artists from the disability community in their art-and-technology residencies with the Leonardo CripTech Incubator. The resulting digital archive will include artifacts of their processes such as notes and drafts as well as recorded reflections, and will be fully accessible on the Ground Works online platform. The next phase of the project is to expand through four specific objectives: 1) Disabled-led User and Accessibility Testing; 2) Curriculum development; 3) Expansion of the archive; 4) Special Edition of Ground Works.This project supports the artists’ evolving practices, captures the experience to inform future access-centered artmaking and archiving, and centers diverse ways of knowing and instantiating knowledge.
