The 2 day workshop is divided in 6 sections.

3- Learning multiple techniques and applying them using the different spaces and structures.
4- Presentation by Reuben Sutherland focussing on methods and tips for visual content production.

At the end of this workshop you will be able to create various projections simultaneously, shape light into objects and spaces, project manage and connect with local and international communities.
This workshop is for visual artists, graphic designers, architects and anybody interested.
On the last session on Sunday we will also finish the workshop with a side event with live music and live visuals by the hand of the mentors, invited artists and the participants.
