Ingrid Murphy combines traditional making skills with digital technologies to create interactive artefacts. Her research focuses on reimagining or augmenting domestic or historical ceramic objects to create new and engaging experiences. The work "She Danced Him into a Flat Spin" was created by 3D scanning an historical Staffordshire figurine in a virtual reality environment, scaling it to human size and dancing with the figure, the resulting digital objects were then 3D printed and cast in ceramics. The final figure can be played as a Theremin, as the conductivity of the gold lustre decoration is used as a circuit antenna.
