Description
Our bodies have evolved constantly over thousands of years. New technologies lead to new circumstances and conditions to which our bodies adapt. But beyond that, bodies can now be actively changed. Together we will speculate on how a symbiosis of technology and humans will shape our future bodies, and translate these ideas sculpturally into viewable designs. How do our hands change when they operate smartphone and touchscreens every day? How does our brain change when all the knowledge in the world is just a few clicks away?
The workshop will be run by the artist Tabitha Nagy. The number of participants is limited. If you wish to reserve a place, please register at buchung@pinakothek.de. Possible workshop languages: German, English.
Art education program accompanying the special exhibition „Future Bodies from a Recent Past"
The Kids’ Factory is a program for children aged between 6 and 12, inviting them to become creative themselves, as the mood takes them. It is possible to join at any time. Different techniques and themes inspire varied artistic pursuits: Whether drawing, painting, working with different printing techniques, dancing; whether analog, digital or hybrid—we will whisk you away to the world of colors and shapes, and appeal to your imagination and creative spirit.
The art education program accompanying the special exhibition “Future Bodies from a Recent Past” was developed as part of “dive in. Programme for Digital Interactions” of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) with funding by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) through the NEUSTART KULTUR programme.
The program was also generously supported by PIN. Freunde der Pinakothek der Moderne e.V.
