Art/Science experiences reimagined and remixed - Part 2
In part two of the session, we'll continue with the exploration of the automata and artificial intelligence hands-on explorations from Cabaret Mechanical Theatre and IMAGINARY, and participants will have the opportunity to try the second part of the project that they didn't experience in the first half of the session.
At the end of the session, we’ll have time to discuss the projects together and think about the ways that these digital spinoffs and remixes can inspire new ideas and programmes in the near- and long-term future.
For the hands-on activity, please collect:
3x paper clips
2x paper straws
scrap cardboard
masking tape
scissors
a selection of photos from magazines
round nose pliers
wire snippers
