From April 8 - 13, 2011 I will be spending 19 hours with a group of people in Guelph working at the Diyode Makers Club on a collaborative project called Mobile Architecture. Mary Mattingly is a New York based artist who is here in Guelph to launch the the 1Mile2 project and this is one of two projects she will do here.
After listening to Mary's presentation the other night, I am not sure what to expect. She imagines and build fantastical suits and items to use in a world when things go awry. Her biggest project was the Waterpod. After reading through the Waterpod website I see that it was conceived by her and there was a large team of collaborators and supporters that worked on this floating home/ school/sustainable living project. The website is worth looking at, not so much because of the sustainable ideas, which seem pretty familiar to me, but for the process of building a network of people to create this project.
I will be writing about the workshop and hopefully we will start making something that can be shown here. Keep you posted!
