Photoacoustic Meditation (2021), performance-walk at the old metal bridge, Fortaleza, Brazil. Clarissa Ribeiro for Victoria Vesna and Art|Sci Collective Alien Stardust Solstice 2021.

1: a coming or flowing together, meeting, or gathering at one point

Artists, designers, and anyone interested in generative design are invited to join this workshop facilitated by Clarissa Ribeiro. Exploring generative design strategies, we will use specific input values in a Grasshopper definition to have as an outcome algorithmic transduction from a confluence of data – extracted from shared 30 seconds video/audio captures from the places we inhabit – entangled information crystalized in 3D objects that remind us of the need of getting together.

Register to receive a link to the workshop which will take place on Zoom. Participants will be invited to produce short videos and upload in advance of the workshop. Free softwares Audacity (open-source) and Grasshopper (trial version) will be used during the workshop. Upon registration, participants will receive an e-mail with detailed instructions on how to prepare for the workshop.

A portion of free tickets are reserved for the workshop. If you cannot afford a ticket at this time, please email refest@culturehub.org and CultureHub will arrange a free ticket.
