Schedule / 8 March 2022

Recreating the Past

Workshop → 4:15 pm

Two-day hybrid workshop co-led by:

8th March & 9th March 2022, 4:15 PM – 7:15 PM
Room 214
Upon Registration Only

In this workshop we will study computational art, by sharing the work of 3-4 artists from the past decades, to co-create our own computational art histories through recreating the works of artists who inspire us. We will use contemporary techniques to gain aesthetic, analytical, and technical knowledge, and study the contexts from which these artists’ works emerged. Thus, we will be able to better understand the politics, communities of practice, and social and artistic movements they engaged in. By recreating historic works, we learn what modern tools and approaches have to offer, through our focus on the building blocks of media art, generative design practice, and computational techniques. This will be through a toolkit featuring a series of exercises and questions to unpack and expand on the themes, techniques, and communities of practice engaged by artists.

Participants are required to bring their laptop with Zoom and Discord already installed.

This event is an in-person event for the VCUarts Qatar community only. Please use the registration button to register.
