Rapid growth in the technology industry has drastically impacted nearly every aspect of our lives. For some artists, this is a good reason to refocus on traditional craftsmanship and techniques. For others, the myriad of new and affordable technology is an opportunity to play, experiment, and develop new forms for creative expression that were not possible before.
The Hacktory knows new technical solutions aren't always the best option, and they are excited to help artists explore what's possible with technology to expand their creative practices in ways that create new, inspiring art.
Join The Hacktory and tech and environmental artist Leslie Birch for a discussion on how integrating tech into your artwork can help you achieve new levels of creative expression. This discussion will be followed by a tour of The Hacktory’s new workshop, tools available (electronic sewing materials, 3D printers, electronics work bench, the kinect and interactive programs built for artists), and demos of interactive software and physical hardware-based projects.
Participants will receive access to one free class at The Hacktory.
Made possible through the generous support of The Knight Foundation with support of the Center for Emerging Visual Artists.
