Workshop
The Organic Internet is part digital and part human. Participants will delve into what this means in practice during this 1.5 hour embroidery workshop.
Led by artistic researcher Pamela Nelson, with a contribution from Dutch artist Anna Andrejew, participants will materialise this system- both by looking at what is readily available information about ourselves online, and by entrusting another participant with a memory, intended only for them. A piece of information stored in another participant, encoded and visualised will become an embroidered broach over the course of the workshop.
Materials required: a phone/laptop with access to internet, scissors, a needle, threads, felt backing, glue and pins. Attendees must have these with them for the workshop.
Pamela Nelson is an artistic design researcher from Ireland, currently based in Amsterdam. For the last four years she has been looking into how slowness and feminist values can be inserted into the digital design process using embroidery and sewing circles as a tool.
