VP Learning Laboratories – Digital Portals: 3D Animation (Blender)
Have you ever wanted to learn how to create and animate 3D objects? Join Hiba Ali as we learn how to assemble, color, texture and render a short 3D animation.
In this 2-part workshop, we will learn the basics of 3D animation with Blender, an open-source 3D animation program. As a source of inspiration, we will learn about the history, theory and examples of 3D animation and art.

VP Learning Laboratories – Citizen Science in Art: Making Environmental Data Meaningful
Highlighting works that affect environmental data using tools and techniques to transcribe this data into expressive artworks using Arduino, Raspberry Pi and MaxMSP.
Environmental Data is often an abstract concept, detached from the complexities of the space or situation it describes. Using citizen science, coding and making, Michael creates narratives for environment data that produce an emotional and relatable dimension. Working with a variety of coding languages, data is brought to life through performance and interactive sculptures. Michael will give an overview of his practice, focusing on works that involve environmental data and will highlight some tools and techniques he uses to transcribe this data into expressive artworks using Arduino, Raspberry Pi and MaxMSP.

VP Learning Laboratories – Creating in Virtual Worlds
How to make video, perform live…and beyond in the longest running virtual world.
Having spent time in and out of virtual worlds for over 20 years, this past year of relative isolation led me back in. Through this period I have realized the incredible potential for art making within user generated avatar based virtual worlds. I have been performing live sound with an exact replica of my loom built by a friend who I met in world. I’ve also been DJing, building immersive installations and filming short films as part of a genre of filmmaking called Machinima.
