The Spring 2023 CCAM Ultra Space Symposium takes up earthly reference frames for understanding the body in space. Inspired by the work of Arakawa and Gins, we consider the body as a part of its architectural surroundings. As part of the symposium, join us for the Manipulations Workshop, featuring: Dana Karwas (Director, CCAM + Critic, Yale School of Architecture), Sarah Oppenheimer (Critic, Yale School of Art), and Alvin Ashiatey (CCAM/Yale School of Art Postgraduate Fellow). What offsets exists betteen perceived space and projected space? What is that space in between? What feedback can be used to navigate and connect these two spaces? Using the motion capture system at CCAM, the workshop will investigate these questions and more by building and solving the “puzzle creature,” a hands-on puzzle that exists in two spaces at once.
