BOTOXUTOPIA
A Workshop on Interactive Architecture
Milan, 26-30.09.2011
The Artist/Architect Drew Seskunas has directed a workshop at the Politecnico di Milano with the help of Brice Delarue of Zirkumflex and the graphic designer Lea Delion. 24 international students participated in a week-long workshop where they designed and constructed an interactive architectural installation.
BotoxUtopia was part of theMIAW II Workshop series, organized by Luca M.F. Fabris at the Politecnico di Milano.
Beginning with BotoxCloud , presented at the Zirkumflex Gallery in Winter 2011 and BotoxLamp presented at the DMY, Berlin in Summer 2011; BotoxUtopia marks the final stage of Drew Seskunas’ Botox Trilogy, a project series studying interaction through hand-folded geometries and sensored environments.
