Redesigning Reality
Fri, Mar 02, 2012
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Workshops & Infosessions
Admission is free. Reservations required for the workshops. To RSVP, see the workshop schedule and reservation links below.
Reuse. Recycle. Reconfigure. A week-long series will feature two hands-on workshops where participants can remix and remake everyday objects and software and alter the ways we think about technology, culture and the environment. Throughout the week, artifacts from the workshops will be featured in a gallery show that is part art exhibition and part interactive junkyard. The series will foreground reuse and sharing as fundamental to the design and creation of hybrid media work.
Even if you are unable to attend the workshops, please come by the gallery during the week to see the residuals of the first workshop or join us for a reception and presentation by participants following each workshop.
