On Loop invites visitors to contribute their own design to the installation by marking and drawing a plexiglass. Visitors are encouraged to create with a free-flow mindset where a perceived error can positively contribute to the overall design. After 10 days, the plexiglass in the "loop" are archived on the shelf for viewing and a new set of plexi is introduced to the table.
Throughout the month of October, A/D/O and Universal will host a series of workshops around On Loop. These workshops will be a combination of mixed media and physical design. Sign up below.
This workshop will consist of creating hand-built clay cylinders through the process of surface design on clay slabs with simple tools. Become part of the production line and contribute to forms that will be finished in our October 16 workshop.
This workshop, led by Laila Gohar, will consist of using food as both an artistic medium and a tool for communication, exploring the nature of human interaction by creating a convivial, multi-sensory edible workshop.
This workshop will refine clay work started in our October 2nd Clay Workshop by decorating and finishing the pieces that were created through two participatory sessions. Attending both Clay Workshops is encouraged but not required.
Inspired by the game of exquisite corpse and the cyclical nature of fermentation, this workshop led by Emilie Baltz is a generative pickling exercise. Participants will learn the basics of fermentation and leave with a jar of co-created pickles.
This workshop, led by Juan Miguel Marin, will consist of a brief introduction to Automatism, the technique of automatic drawing. Participants will partake in individual and group drawing sprints such as drawing with your eyes closed or drawing in response to beats.
Drawing from a deck of cards about climate fortune, participants will gain skills in strategic foresight by hacking, editing, physically manipulating and recombining the cards iteratively around the On Loop table to generate unexpected scenarios of that future. This workshop is led by Charlotte McCurdy, an interdisciplinary designer and researcher at NEW INC.
This workshop, led by Research Scientist Jonathan Connell of IBM, will explore ways to develop complex motion patterns with a robot. Using the robot's ability to recognize certain classes of objects with its camera, participants will teach it how to dance.
