Inter/sections Artists' Workshop and Talks
Event Information
Description
Inter/sections holds a hands-on workshop for artists interested in working with technology, led by commissioned artist Will Hurt.
Will’s Lego Configurations Workshop invites artists to make small Lego objects, digitise them and to manipulate digitised objects inside a running software. Using up to 8 pieces of a limited subset of Lego type bricks, artists will make objects that could relate to any given theme of their choice, then with the digital modelling tool Mecabricks, artists will digitise the object they have made. The digital models then will be added to a running version of Will's Automated Spatial Transformations software. No technical background required, this is a hands-on opportunity for artists interested in working with technology.
Alongside the workshop, artists Yosuke Ushigome, Anna Ridler, and Jelka Kretzschmar will give artist talks on their respective pieces Professional Sharing, Wikileaks: A Love Story, and Wood of Voices.
Soomi Park will also be running a workshop on Embarrassed Robots.
Inter/sections Artists' Workshop and Talks will be followed by our exhibition launch party on Monday 4 September, 6 - 8pm. Please email info@intersections.io to RSVP.

Organiser of Inter/sections Artists' Workshop and Talks
The Media and Arts Technology programme links to many strands of research both within and outside the university through research groups such as Cognitive Science, Multimedia and Vision and the Centre for Digital Music, and also interdepartmentally, with strong ties to the School of Electronic Engineering, School of Business and Management, School of Geography and the Drama and Film departments. Being part of Queen Mary University of London also means we naturally collaborate with the larger University of London network and the UK academic networks as a whole. Queen Mary University of London is also part of the Russell group, making it one of the top class research institutions in the UK.
