Material_Adventures :: LEVEL1_THE REMIX (2020)

the boardgame adventure for humans and other materials. you set off on a journey with two other materials in the hopes of discovering something interesting. the goal is to return from your adventure with an exciting story to share.

Social distancing as an opportunity for material intimacy? As somebody who leads crafty hands-on material workshops (mostly on e-textiles and physical computing), I’ve been trying to find interesting ways of communicating these experiences remotely, without relying on a setup in which participants spend the majority of their time in front of devices. The social distancing measures that we are currently taking to slow the spread of covid-19, bar us from gathering physically with other humans, but nothing is stopping us from getting intimate with other (inanimate) beings. Maybe, all alone with other materials, we are able to get even more materially intimate with them!
