DRAWING CONVERSATIONS 2022

This in-person workshop held in Venice at the 2022 ACM Creativity and Cognition conference invited designers, artists, technologists and scientists to collectively speculate about artefacts and technologies through the practice of drawing. We focussed on the use of drawing as a method for collaboratively generating connections between different artefacts and between perspectives from participants coming from various disciplines. Through drawing, we engaged in conversation with concepts and with each other and potentially create new forms, functionalities and interpretations. Our one-day workshop encouraged a shared engagement with ambiguous spaces in order to stimulate creativity and collaborative design... Venice, the city hosting this conference, has been historically drawn and painted by both amateur and professional drafts people and artists seeking to capture its character, architectural beauty and craftsmanship. Our workshop seeked in part to join in this rich cultural tradition..
