Knowing Together – Exhibition

Knowing Together is a project exploring the dimensions of intimacy through 3D scanning. The exhibition was born out of a workshop and commissioned by the 2018 Myers Fund at EdLab Teachers College in collaboration with the Brown Institute’ Creative Technologist Rosalie Yu. The exhibition opens December 6, 2018 and will be on display for six weeks. Details about the workshop that helped inspire and produce this exhibition below.

The project will begin with a workshop where the artist and a group of strangers learn photogrammetry, a technique for creating 3D models of objects by combining photographs from multiple angles. The group will then form a circle and pass around a camera to progressively capture a 3D image as the two strangers embrace platonically for the duration of the scan. Each embrace will be 3D printed and exhibited as a sculpture in the Teachers College library in December. The entire group will be credited as creators of these sculptures, which will be displayed alongside raw captured images, video footage, and other source materials from the creation of these sculptures.
