Artificial Intelligence7

In the workshop Artificial Intelligence7, artist Tatiana Zubieta, who works under the name Tatiana7elementart, invites participants to create masks using recycled materials and everyday objects, including functional items. By transforming and combining these materials, we will give them a new life, turning familiar objects into something else.

Artificial Intelligence7 explores the relationship between technology, identity, materiality, and the digital world. Each material carries an archaeology of meanings and uses, shaped by its past and the different stages of its life. Every discarded object carries traces of its previous life, which we can uncover, reinterpret, and transform through the act of assembling them together. By giving these objects new forms and meanings, we can use the masks to express something about themselves, explore different aspects of their identity, or imagine who they might become.

The workshop lasts two hours: 18:00-20:00.

All experience levels—no prior background in art-making required.

Optional: please feel free to bring materials you’d like to recycle and give a new life too.

Brussels-based, Colombian-born Tatiana7elementart is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the physicality of materials and their transformation through means of sculpture, video, photo, installation, and collage.

Zubieta uses industrial equipment (metal, engines or wires) as source material, repurposed for her work: at the core of her artistic practice is the transformation of recycled and found materials, as opposed to the extraction and exploitation that the use of new materials requires. During the last years, her installation has been presented at, among other places to, Recyclart, Boterhammen In Het Park, Gent Design Museum.
