Join us for a workshop with new media artist, Scott Kildall, who will lead an investigation of Bangkok’s rivers and canals. The group will examine environmental pollution due to industrialization. Scott will help participants in collecting and mapping data and show them how to turn data into sculptures. The goal is to stimulate a conversation around the effects of rapid development and industrialization. The participants will learn about data-mapping, audio and physical construction, and problem-solving.
