A showcase of ongoing capstone projects exploring 'structures of presence': the manifold ways technology weaves into the fabric of our lives and reshapes how we inhabit the world. Students move beyond singular dominant technological frameworks to investigate how digital making can emerge from diverse understandings of our place among humans, materials, and the more-than-human.

Digital Making is a one-year diploma programme where participants engage with digital fabrication as critical practice. Beginning with tool-making, students progress through modules exploring social-material assemblies through electronics, ecological entanglements with the more-than-human, and culminate with capstone projects investigating structures of presence. Throughout, learners interrogate how technology shapes our thoughts, aspirations, and interactions with the world. The programme challenges dominant technological frameworks, emphasising pluralistic approaches to digital making that examine how technology mediates our experience of being present—reshaping relationships among humans, materials, society, and the more-than-human world.
