Reconnecting
with Matter*
with Maelie Coral
2 Workshops Series
June 16 | 23
All sessions at 6:00 PM CEST. Online.
Each session: 1.5 hours
€80.00
ReConnecting with Matter is a hands-on workshop that invites you to reconnect with materials as a starting point for creative practice.
Rather than approaching materials as predefined solutions, the workshop focuses on understanding what matter is, where it comes from, how it forms, and how it transforms.
THE WORKSHOP
THE DETAILS*
Through simple observation and discussion, we’ll explore different types of materials, from natural, processed,and living, to engineered, and the processes behind them. The goal is not to teach materials science in an academic way, but to build an intuitive and practical understanding of matter, without requiring any prior scientific background.
By learning to “read” materials - how they behave, evolve, and carry constraints and possibilities- you will learn to integrate material understanding into your own creative processes. The workshop bridges scientific thinking and making, offering tools to better choose, question, and work with materials in design, art, and creative practices, while opening perspectives on sustainable and alternative material approaches.
Why the Boring Workshops?
This aren’t pre-recorded courses. They’re live online workshops with professional instructors and creatives where you can ask questions, receive feedback, get personal guidance, and interact with peers in real time.
Recording are made available after the session so you can rewatch and follow at your own pace.
MEET Maelie
Maelie is a materials scientist and designer, founder of matière., a lab working at the intersection of materials research and creative practice. With an Engineering degree and a PhD in Materials Science, Maelie’s work is driven by a desire to better understand matter and materials through hands-on exploration, fabrication, and experimentation.
Maelie’s practice focuses on sustainable and alternative materials such as biomass, mycelium-based composites, and other alternative approaches, and on how these materials can be processed and used in design contexts.
Using Video Mapping For Your Projects With MadMapper with Leo G. Alonso
TheWorkshop
This four hour online workshop provides an introduction to the basic features of MadMapper. You will learn how to use the software to set up video mapping and manage multiple projections within their own projects.
TheDetails
This workshop is intended for beginners, and no previous knowledge of MadMapper or projection mapping is necessary.
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
Understand the basic interface and workflow of MadMapper
Import and manage different types of media including images, videos, and live inputs
Create and adjust video mappings on 2D and 3D surfaces
Work with multiple projections
We will work with a laptop, and having access to a projector or an additional screen is recommended for a better learning experience, but not required.
