A hybrid open-ended do-it-with-others workshop revolving around experimental making, irrational tonalities, resonant feedback, impromptu data scratching, post-digital utopias, and weird speculative artifacts. John Bowers leads an experimental laboratory on a continuum spanning almost 2 days, from Thursday 20th October 8:30 to Friday 21st October 17:00, with groups of students (3d/4th year, Multimedia and Graphic Arts Department, CUT), MADLab researchers, invited artists, and the local public succeeding and blending with one another so as to engage with creative tactics and outputs as part of a broader hybrid event -- our own 'Machine of Mantic Stain' right in central Limassol.

Machines of Mantic Stain

A hybrid open-ended do-it-with-others workshop revolving around experimental making, irrational tonalities, resonant feedback, impromptu data scratching, post-digital utopias, and weird speculative artifacts. John Bowers leads an experimental laboratory on a continuum spanning almost 2 days, from Thursday 20th October 8:30 to Friday 21st October 17:00, with groups of students (3d/4th year, Multimedia and Graphic Arts Department, CUT), MADLab researchers, invited artists, and the local public succeeding and blending with one another so as to engage with creative tactics and outputs as part of a broader hybrid event — our own ‘Machine of Mantic Stain’ right in central Limassol.

Doors are open to the public on Oct 20th, 19:00-22:00, — for a series of solo performances, impromptu ‘scratch’ collaborations, expositions of (non-) creative artifacts, and a quick presentation of the overall creative material-social process — and on Oct 21st, 16:00-17:00 for the exposition of additional experiments and an informal discussion.
