JOYSTRUCTURES

Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: none

Bring your creative ideas for exploring the social mechanics of play and humor. We are going to briefly look at the history of artists and designers creating playground equipment, then have an open ended design-build workshop to create play structures for MIT.

We will work collaboratively in one or more teams using structural steel and MIG welding to realize our ideas. Experience with design or metal fabrication is helpful but not required. I will attempt to secure an installation site, but this will depend on approval of your design.

To apply, e-mail the activity contact with a brief note about your interest in the subject or experience. Space is very limited due to the size of the shop.

Funded in part by the Council for the Arts at MIT and the Art, Culture and Technology Pilot grant.
