Abstract

The late 20th century saw the industrial period end only to transform into the digital era where people have begun to pay attention to craft because it a field that respects emotion as the essential value, an alternative to overcome the side effect that people have created. Today a new world - where the virtual and the real co-exist through artificial intelligence (AI) - has suddenly approached us and the future of craft is faced with a new situation as it needs to present a new creative solution as a tool that is necessary for human way of life - a tool that has been a necessity throughout history and the evolution of life. As a result for a continued development, craft attempts to establish a new paradigm through current trends represented by our modern society, which is the emergence of creative development through convergence. This study presents creative experiments attempted through the convergence of craft with other heterogeneous tendencies connected to the field. The objective of the study is to enable makers to acquire a more creative way of thinking at the same time as inspiring them and suggesting new creative possibilities in order to develop their work through creative convergence. In Chapter 2, the study investigates on the current status of craft in general, and compares it with what is taking place in Korea; in Chapter 3 the significance of convergence in craft and the process of creating is addressed through case studies. Lastly in Chapter 4, with the basis on analytical case studies, the attribute and the potential of convergence in the field of craft is observed. By analyzing different phenomena presented through attempts to converge in contemporary craft, it has been possible to view the future of the 21st century craft through assessments on what is active and what is as yet hidden potential.

20세기 후반 산업시대가 막을 내리고, 디지털 시대로 전화되면서, 사람들은 그들이 가져온 부작용을 극복하기 위한 대안으로 감성존중의 본질적 가치를 지니고 있는 공예에 주목하고 있다. 인공지능(AI)을 통해 가상과 실제가 공존하는 새로운 세상이 성큼 다가온 오늘날, 인간의 삶에 필요한 도구로서 인간의 역사와 함께해온 공예는 미래시대를 위한 창의적인 해답을 내놓아야 하는 새로운 국면에 직면해 있다. 이에 공예는 지속적 발전을 위한 새로운 패러다임으로서 현대사회의 대표적인 트렌드인 융합과의 창발적 조우를 시도하고 있다. 이 연구는 공예와 이질적인 것들과의 융합을 시도한 창작의 실험을 소개하고자 한다. 이를 통해 융합을 창작의 요소로 활용하려는 공예가들에게 창의적 사고와 영감에 도움을 주고 나아가 새로운 창작의 가능성을 제시하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 2장에서는 오늘날의 공예와 한국공예의 현황을 설명했고, 3장에서는 공예에서 융합의 의미와 공예의 창작과정에서 보이는 다양한 형태의 융합사례를 소개한다. 마지막으로 4장에서는 사례분석을 기반으로 융합공예의 특성과 가능성을 살펴본다. 현대공예에서 보이는 융합의 현상에 대해 분석함으로써 융합공예의 작용 영역과 잠재적 가능성을 통해 21세기 공예의 미래를 전망해보고자 한다.
