Excited to organise a workshop on my PhD topic:
Synaesthetic Provocation. This workshop aims to generate creative ideas using synaesthesia as a provocation. During the workshop, two methods of provocation will be shared with the participants to generate creative ideas in relation to provided themes. The main purpose of the workshop is to study the topic of synaesthesia within the context of design and to consider its potential applications through two methods of provocation. Designers, engineers, architects and artists are encouraged to participate in this event, which should be thought provoking, stimulating and fun. |
