In this workshop, which is a journey of discovery to unleash creativity, the geometries of ordinary objects are analyzed. Inspired by the conceptual framework of Calculations and Coincidences, the workshop digitizes random linear forms made of black wooden sticks and toothpicks. Guided by basic design principles, the patterns created by combining them together turn into impressive compositions.
