School and Corporate Programmes

Patricia Piccinini is an Australian artist whose work blends human and animal forms to explore themes of bioethics, nature and the impact of experimentations.

Through a hands-on craft activity, participants are introduced to the science of genetics and evolution and will reflect on the ethical and environmental questions raised by genetic modification.

Learning Objectives:

• Introduction to concepts of genetics and evolution, including the discussion on the ethics of biotechnologies.

• Design and build a hybrid creature inspired by genetic modification

• Learn how art is used to visualise scientific concepts and speculative futures.

In this workshop, experiment with new tech such as 3D scanning that uses technology to capture the shape of real-life objects and create digital 3D models. These digital models can then be painted using digital art software.

With a creative design challenge prompt, participants will use 3D scanning and painting applications to customise a digital 3D model of their own.

Learning Objectives:

• Use 3D scanning technology and digital art skills to create and customise a digital 3D model.

• Apply creativity and problem-solving skills to a design challenge.

• Experience how technological innovations complement artistic and scientific fields.

What does it mean to live in a ‘City in Nature’?
