WORKSHOPS
ENDLESS HOUSE
All of this and nothing artist Mateo Tannatt will conduct an ongoing workshop about memory and architecture. Participants can explore the spaces they live in, and the way those spaces change in memory.
GIVE A THX. GET A THX. : Leah Dieterich, creator of the popular blog thxthxthx.com and upcoming book thxthxthx: thank goodness for everything, has posted a thank-you note a day since October of 2009, expressing gratitude for range of unlikely things. In this workshop, participants are invited to Give a THX of their own by writing a note and either posting it at the museum, or giving it to someone else.
FORAGED and FOUND FOOTAGE: A VJ WORKSHOP
Animal Charm and VJ Oicho will lead a video jockeying workshop using VHS decks and Modul8 VJ software. Participants will film (or forage) the museum’s evening activities and learn how to combine and remix this footage with old VHS tapes to create video collages.
INTERACTIVE GAMES
Game designers Patricia Pizer and Bret Shefter have curated a series of games positioned throughout the museum — including board games, arcade games, kinetic games like Rock Band and Wii, and a live-action game — that explore the history of gaming.
PERFORMANCES
Adam Overton and the subtle bodies series presents a pamphlet of subtle performances and interactions for participants.
