NEEDLE WORK is an art research project that collaboratively explores cultural transmission and education by translating craft gestures into choreographic interpretations from both humans and robots to inform the creative potential of human-robot interaction and co-design. 

Within the project, my role involved capturing the craft gestures and dances through videography, and producing a teaser video that encapsulates the project’s ethos, thereby visually narrating the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with futuristic robotics and artistic expressions as a key material of the project’s outreach and impact.
