Antenna Design gave a three-day workshop at Fabrica between June 15-17, 2005.
Antenna Design was founded in 1997 by Masamichi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger. Their mission is to make the experience of technologically enhanced objects and environments more meaningful and exciting. Antenna’s work ranges from public to corporate, from realized to exploratory. Among Antenna’s best-known projects are the two newest fleets of New York City’s subway cars and New York City’s MetroCard vending machines. On a more conceptual side, Antenna investigates the cultural role of electronically enhanced objects and environments in the form of interactive installations where Antenna creates a new aesthetics of technologically mediated experiences.
THE WORKSHOP
Workshop participants were asked to intervene and change the use of a public space, through the creation of a system - analog or digital. Workshop projects were presented Friday, 17th in the afternoon in response to the brief.
