Saturday Art Workshop: Reality vs. Fiction / to the Enter the Room exhibition

During the educational programmes, we will take for basis directly the concept of the exhibition, which aims to present the influence of the gaming environment on the visuality of the emerging generation of artists and the imagination of future forms of human civilization. During our artistic response, we will apply a wide range of artistic techniques (drawing, painting, creation of objects, collage, etc.) and we will also work with the medium of moving image and animation. Visitors will also use iPads and smartphones as creative tools to create, using special applications, including augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI). We will focus on the possibilities of interconnecting the physical and digital worlds. The key motif for our creation will be the door, symbolising decision-making, opportunities, limits, and transitions between different environments and worlds. Another important theme will be ecology and the imagination of the future. During the workshops, participants will have the opportunity to design their own game character or avatar, its nature and to craft a story (e.g., also in the form of a storyboard) that captures the overall artistic atmosphere, enhancing the viewer’s imagination. We will also draw inspiration from analogue games such as cards and dice to create tarot card designs, both traditionally and digitally. Throughout the educational programmes, we will emphasise the development of media and digital literacy, as well as visual sensitivity.
