there are lots of things i loved about working on this exhibition - one of them was definitely getting to host @kalyani_tupkary's brilliant speculative design work! 🥳 always a pleasure to be in conversation with her work.
Today's #MaterialConditions 01 spotlight is Kalyani Tupkary's (@kalyani_tupkary) two heirlooms Tupkary explores the natural forms of the kadipatta and conch to tease out the bonds between people, cultures, & objects across space + time 🌿 Check it out ⇢ materialconditions.salt.code…
Super fun to share this small piece of net art alongside the Material Conditions 01 exhibit at @salt_codes! and more is coming to the story previewed in this project… 🌴 #MaterialConditions
Today's spotlight is Andrew W. Smith's (@awwsmith_) Histree from #MaterialConditions 01 Smith constructs an interactive collage to offer glimpses of a world in which trees become the primary keeper of history across generations 🌲🌳 Check it out ⇢ materialconditions.salt.code…

I had a lot of fun working on this piece for #MaterialConditions! this is the first project i've done with a rapid draw ⇢ cut ⇢ paste ⇢ scan workflow. i absolutely loved this process of fabrication, and how connected it gets you to the material.
Today's #MaterialConditions 01 spotlight is Cassandra Hradil's (@frolickingrogue) Ocean Writing🌊 Hradil uses the tactile + virtual to illustrate a future where storytelling is touch-based, recorded, & shared thru the knots & beads of textiles Link ⇢ materialconditions.salt.code…

Come make a thing for our theWrong Biennale exhibit! Why now? Because it’s always now or never; bc the breaking times can also be the making times, sometimes. Make what? Something small, something random, something ugly, something beautiful, a great try, a last try, a response.
I want to mention that if you're feeling a bit creatively stuck, a prompt generator can be an amazing way to just *make* something without the pressure of "having a good idea"! 🌿

Also in our new issue is "Anti-Temporal Letters" by @awwsmith_! This interactive piece emerges from a line in Janelle Monae’s video for “Q.U.E.E.N.”, referring to a fictional organization dedicated to the capture and exhibition of time-traveling rebels. At thenewriver.us/anti-temporal…
