Have you ever wondered why art schools teach skills in taking you to somewhere else, as if the place where you are now is not good enough? This workshop encourages you to value places that enable you to move around and see from different directions in ways that, if you were a robot, would be called ‘high-tech’. The workshop shows you how to use this ability, in conjunction with low-tech materials such as masking tape, string and chalk to make temporary drawings over the ground, walls, trees or studio furniture on the grounds of the National Art School.
