Shape Languages

A presentation by Lindsey Whittle also known by art identities: Sparklezilla and Future-Lindsey

Part of CTRL + ALT + RESIST

We will be discussing: How you develop “Shape Languages” as evolving visual and conceptual systems co-created with collaborators, treating collaboration itself as the medium. Fluxus-inspired, participatory, and process-forward, inviting audience into scores for connection. Click here to download the presentation.
