ImageLab (Composition) Workshop with David Lakein (Berlin/Chicago)
Presented by thefidget space February 15, 2012 ImageLab
Composition Workshop
Making images throughout the afternoon—either quickly with reckless abandon or slowly with careful consideration—we experiment with elements such as movement, action, voice and object. The frame of our making process varies greatly as we continuously engage with these questions:
What is an image? How many distinct components does an image have? Where are the boundaries of an image; when does it begin, end?
