H is for house.
An Eye for Optical Theory
ADSL 2012 Workshop [ TRANSFORMER ]
Artesis University College Antwerp
Christian Fröhlich with Niels Wouters
Participants of the workshop “H is for house.” received extracts of the script “Curriculum for the Execution of the Drawings at Compton Anstey” from “The Draughtsman’s Contract”, a film by Peter Greenaway. They were asked to use those briefings as a set of rules, an algorithm*, to transform an interior space through a Video Painting.
