Slowing Down The Digital: Watercolour & Wikipedia
Advertisement
In this class we will use the internet to research topics, then create watercolour paintings and text-based tarot card inspired pieces.
Each class invites group discussion within a lively, social setting.
Inspired by Suzanne Treister’s major series HEXEN 2.0 and HEXEN 5.0, envision possible alternative futures and explore critical, historical, and mystical interpretations of recent technological developments. Combining a Wikipedia deep-dive with watercolour painting we will create a new iteration of the HEXEN series to spiritualise topics of surveillance, power, control and artificial intelligence.
Your ticket includes all materials and a complimentary drink.
