Technology Can Never be the Starting Point for New Work. Ruudt Peters, Joya 2020 Jury Member interviewed by Klimt02

JOYA Barcelona, the main art jewelry and art object event in Spain will take place with its 12th edition this year and focusses on new technologies and crafts:
 
The skilled and sensitive human interaction with technology, involved in jewellery and object making is arguably central to the maker’s art. The direct relationship with tools & materials is essential to control an intimate way of making. Through the exploitation to new technologies, the whole working process of the artist can change, but as well open new possibilities and creative paths are developed. 
 
In this first interview of three, we spoke to Jury Member Ruudt Peters, a pioneer in the dutch jewellery field since the 1970s.
