Self-portrait Series with artist Molmol Kuo

This is a workshop combining traditional hands-on art making  and new media technology to encourage the participants to explore and present “self-portrait.”

Self-portrait is one of the most profound subjects of art making,
and is a creative exploration of self- knowledge and identity. In this 9-week long workshop the participants will learn the ideas of self-portrait through seminar discussions, hands-on art making classes and the introduction of new media technology. The instructor will begin the workshop by discussing the idea of “selfies” and involve guest speakers as well as off-site visits to broaden the participants’ perspective.

By the end of the workshop the participants will develop and create their own self-portrait projects.

Molmol Kuo is a Taiwanese new- media artist based in NY. Received an M.P.S. from NYU’s prestigious Interactive Telecommunications Program and a B.A. in Communication arts from Fu Jen University in Taiwan. Her work centers on stories, moving images, robotics, kinetics and interactive sculpture. Currently, she is working on projects with sensors and electronics, focusing on building sculptures that interact with viewers.
