Prototypes will be developed with the aid of these three teachers and interested collaborators. After this first stage, some of the prototypes will be selected to be developed in a larger scale. After this first stage or prototype building, some of them will be selected for their further development on a larger scale. This will be done through collaborations with other institutions and exhibition venues.
This workshop/work group aims to conduct research and experiments with the use of light, projection, and visual perception in different settings, gathering people from fields including architecture, visual arts, urbanism, stage and set design, programming, physics, optics, psychology, and the physiology of perception.
In addition to the selected projects, teachers will also offer the posibility of working on their own proposals.
There is a Forum available for participants to stablish contact and to work online.
The second and last part of the workhop will take place on March 27, 28, and 29.
