Material_Adventures (2020)

the boardgame adventure for humans and other materials

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!

LEVEL1_THE REMIX – everything is a remix
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

LEVEL2_THE REMAKE – under the influence
you set off on a journey with another material you wish to make with
the goal is ti return with an understanding that you are equally remade

LEVEL3_THE REMOTE – …coming soon…
