When
How can artists transform a physical object into multiple digital forms? In this hands-on workshop, students will explore the creative workflow of scanning, modeling, 3D printing, and augmented reality. Along the way, students will learn how artists and designers use emerging technologies to expand what sculpture and storytelling can look like in the digital age. By the end of the session, students will understand the process of translating a physical object into a digital artifact and experience how technology can extend artistic expression beyond the physical world.
We will be using Polycam during this workshop. Consider downloading it to your personal device ahead of time.
This workshop is being led by visiting artist GABO (Gabriel-Bello Diaz). GABO is a Puerto Rican multidisciplinary artist, designer, educator, and community organizer based in Seattle. His practice bridges architecture, digital fabrication, and fine art to tell stories rooted in ancestry, identity, and futurism. You can learn more about him here.
This workshop will take place in the Data Studio, which is located on the 2nd floor of the Main Library, directly to the left of the main entrance to the library.
