Creative Lab is a series of interdisciplinary workshops designed and led by Guild Hall’s Visiting, Exhibiting, and Resident artists. Each Creative Lab invites participants to learn about an artist’s practice through an open lecture and a participatory workshop.
This evening’s Lab is led by interdisciplinary artist-duo and 2024 Guild Hall William P. Rayner Artists-in-Residence, LoVid. LoVid’s practice focuses on aspects of contemporary society where technology seeps into human culture and perception. Throughout their interdisciplinary projects over two decades, LoVid has maintained their signature visual and sonic aesthetic of color, pattern, and texture density, with disruption and noise.
The Lab will focus on LoVid’s most recent project, Heartsleeves Portrait Studio. The project is an immersive environment for portrait creation, inviting participants to enjoy a playful and embodied relationship with the work they collect. The Portrait Studio uses live camera input to process the participants’ images by applying LoVid’s algorithmically generated moving patterns.
