(I pulled this from the net, I can't really say it any better.)
Radical Craft:Idea of the making, connection of the brain and the hand. (Listen to interview with Chee about Radical Craft) but not in terms of macrame (poor macrame, it always gets picked on,) but in terms of objects like the Mars rover.
