2018 North Texas Digital Fabrication Symposium


REGISTRATION
This year's Symposium is themed "Humanizing the Digital" and will take place on April 20-21 on the TWU Denton Campus. Artists, researchers, makers and students will come together at TWU to discuss digital fabrication, its practice, pedagogy and curation. The symposium events will include panel discussions of 5-6 panelists organized around three subthemes: Embodiment & Technology, Adaptation & Play, and Process & Practice. Six workshops, scheduled each afternoon of the symposium, give participants hands-on application and learning with digital fabrication tools.

STUDENT SHOW -- CALL FOR ENTRIES
We will also host a student exhibition titled "(non) standard" -- organized by UNT Graduate Students Karla Garcia and Krissi Riewe -- which will be displayed in our new Projects Space during the symposium. The show calls for work made to fit within a defined grid format so that the accepted work can be displayed in tiled groupings. Submissions must include digitally fabricated elements, but work that also incorporates handmade or analog elements is highly encouraged. There is no entry fee, however accepted entrants are responsible for all shipping costs.

The submission deadline is March 23rd.

EXHIBITION
TWU will host a corresponding Digital Fabrication Exhibition including works by some of the artists and presenters from the symposium. The artworks represent a broad spectrum of practice within the wide world of digital fabrication applications: physical, speculative and functional.
