Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. Next week we'll host the first activity of the Museums Without Walls 2022 program: the online workshop "Dis/embodied Audio-visual Collage: Collective World-Building" with Daniel Lichtman. Please check the details below.
* * * *Dis/embodied Audio-visual Collage: Collective World-Building* Thursday July 28, 2pm EST Free participation! Register at https://queensu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYldOqqqjwtHtdsAvc8q8iPUt2Q_wqMSF5K In this workshop, participants will work together to produce an interactive 3D environment composed of audio recordings and photographic fragments of participants' immediate, physical surroundings. Over the course of the workshop, participants will capture audio and photographic source material and work together to compose this material into a 3D scene using the Unity game engine and the Community Game Development Toolkit. Participants will then collectively explore the resulting environment as avatars, charting a network of chance encounters with disembodied audio-visual fragments of participants’ surroundings as they move through the virtual space. Each play-through of the scene will yield a unique path through this collaboratively produced collage, representing a unique, virtual composition of participants’ collective experience of space, material and sound. The Community Game Development Toolkit is a set of tools that make it easy and fun for students, artists, researchers and community members to create their own visually rich, interactive 3D environments and story-based games without the use of coding or other specialized game-design skills. The toolkit provides intuitive tools for members of diverse communities to represent their own traditions, rituals and heritages through interactive, visual storytelling. The workshop is run by artist, educator and organizer Daniel Lichtman. Lichtman has presented work at the CICA Museum, South Korea; Loosen Art, Rome; BRIC Arts and Media House, The Bronx Museum and The Queens Museum, all in New York; The ICA, London, and other venues. Lichtman earned his MFA at Goldsmiths, London and starting in Fall 2022 will be Visiting Assistant Professor of Digital Studies at Stockton University. * * * Museums Without Walls is a survey into virtual art / institutions and communities supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and currently hosted at Queen's University. museusemparedes.com/en
