[image: An openLAB Masterclass with Marius Watz] Call for participation
deadline : January 20th!
Workshop / Production Lab: February 18-24th
Exhibition: February 25-26th

This openLAB is the first masterclass on Digital Fabrication at iMAL in
Brussels. With an emphasis on forms generated by code, it will end with an
exhibition of the works produced by the participants.

Participants will explore how software processes can be combined with
digital fabrication to produce physical objects that are the result of
dynamic software systems, opening new fields for artists, designers and
other creative people. Specifically, we will look at how generative systems
can be used to create objects according to a programmed logic, allowing for
great complexity and a semi-automated model of creativity.
 Generator.x

This openLAB is the evolution of Generator.x 2.0: Beyond the
Screen<http://www.generatorx.no/20071130/generatorx-20-call/>,
a workshop and exhibition that took place in Berlin during Transmediale
2008. Generator.x is a curatorial platform set up by Marius Watz to explore
the implications of computational aesthetics, and these workshops are
intended to function both as discourse and practice.

For this 2012 edition in Brussels we propose to use the latest low-cost 3D
Printers (Makerbots <http://www.makerbot.com/>) as well as a large and
powerful laser cutter machine. The main software tool will be
Processing<http://www.processing.org>,
but we also welcome users of other tools like VVVV, PD or OpenFrameworks.
The workshop will be hands-on and geared towards producing projects ready
for exhibition at the end of the project. Participants will be expected to
be familiar with code and generative strategies. There will be short
tutorials demonstrating certain techniques, but the main focus is on the
participants' own work.
 Marius Watz

Marius Watz <http://mariuswatz.com/> is a Norwegian artist working with
visual abstraction through generative systems. An autodidact, he quit his
Computer Science studies to pursue visual work based on code. He is known
for his bold use of colors and hard-edged geometric compositions. Recently
he has been exploring digital fabrication technologies to create complex
abstract forms and structures, synthesizing form as the product of
parametric behaviors and freezing ephemeral data structures into solid form.
