Preliminary BIM Incubator Workshops of Architechnopoetics throughout March and early April. Architechnopoetic workshops and BIRDS performance are lovingly funded by the Council on Science and Technology.
BIM Incubator, organized by Assistant Professor V. Mitch McEwen, will consist of two days of experimental architecture, art, and technology workshops and poetic symposia that culminate in live performances staged at the Architectural Laboratory (Embodied Computation Lab and Labatore). The Incubator will serve as an intellectual platform for new thinking and making at the nexus of architecture, technology, the arts, and society that will engage academics, architects, artists, and robots at Princeton and beyond. In addition to poetry and musical artists, the Incubator will premiere new work by a Burkina Faso-based dance company directed by Princeton visiting lecturer Olivier Tarpaga and supported by the New England Foundation of the Arts (NEFA).
