Text/Ure : A Workshop On A Collaborative Art Project Using Parametric Design And Digital Fabrication Techniques
Alexandros Kontogeorgakopoulos Cardiff School of Art and Design & oneContinuousLab
Odysseas Klissouras oneContinuousLab
Martin Lane Fab Lab Cardiff
Lewis Thomas Fab Lab Cardiff
During this workshop, participants will be invited to co-create an art installation using parametric design and digital fabrication techniques. The text/ure installation will be exhibited online and physically at Cardiff School of Art and Design during the EASTN-DC matte(r)ialities festival. The participants will see the whole process: from the development of the computer program to milling the final object by a CNC machine at Fab Lab Cardiff. Moreover they will actively contribute to the final piece by offering words and sentences which will then be transformed by the created algorithm into real elements of the physical exhibition. No special skills are required to attend.
The places are limited, register interest by emailing Alexandros akontogeorgakopoulos@cartdiffmet.ac.uk
