Videokaffe explores the intersection of handcraft and technology through public sculpture, exhibitions, residencies, and internet-based platforms. We promote curiosity, the use of your own hands, and the joy of invention. Members meet and work by connecting their studios online. Collaborating in this fashion the Videokaffe collective is examining themes such as the future of making, collective action versus individual practice, and the performative nature of work and play as a means of discovery.
