☽ In the Name of the Moon ☽ Part 1
In this workshop, hosted by Ahreum Lee, participants build their own wearable sound device, an accessory designed to be used in moments of microaggression, that activates sound through their own designed movement, using electronics, e-textiles, and recycled materials. Through discussions on microaggressions and other activities, participants also develop their own character and story, which they then bring to life in a LARP (Live Action Role Play) session.
The workshop is split into two parts:
Part I -- Making, Discussion & Character Building (July 11 & 12)
Over two full days, participants will design and build their wearable sound device from scratch. Alongside the making process, we will explore the theme of microaggressions; what they are, how they affect us, and how we can respond, through discussion, reflection, and creative activities. Participants will also develop their own character and story to bring into the LARP session.
& Sunday 12-07 from 13:00 to 16:00
Part II -- LARP Session (July 25)
In a 2-hour session, participants bring their devices and characters into play. Using their "weapons", they navigate scenarios together in a guided, playful, and safe environment.
About Ahreum Lee : As an interdisciplinary media artist, musician, game maker, educator, and learner, Ahreum Lee navigates the complexities of technology, data, and socio-political narratives. Fascinated by the ritualistic use of everyday technologies, she explores their impact on socio-political dynamics and their interactions with both human and more-than-human entities.
This summer Ahreum Lee is the artist-in-residence for the transmediale x ARKO Residency programme. During the residency, Ahreum will reimagine digital infrastructures through gestures of deliberate slowness and ritual acts of data feeding.
