99U | Kelli Anderson: Materials for Computer People @99u | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
About this workshop:
Designer and paper engineer Kelli Anderson creates incredible things from analog materials: planetariums, cameras, and speakers. In this workshop, Kelli walks us through the computational thinking of artists including Sol LeWitt, George Perec, and Marjan Teeuwen, and introduces us to analog computing through exercises that engage our observation and reverse engineering skills.
This workshop was recorded remotely on May 22, 2020
About this speaker:
Kelli Anderson is a designer and paper engineer who pushes the materials of graphic design to their interactive extreme. Kelli is best known for her design, animation, and illustration work for NPR, The New Yorker, Wired, MoMA, the Exploratorium, and The New York Times, as well as her redesign of New York brands such as Russ & Daughters and Momofuku. Her experimental and interactive pop-up books (This Book is a Camera, which transforms into a pinhole camera, and This Book is a Planetarium, which houses a tiny planetarium and other contraptions) have been called “A marvel of paper engineering and imagination" by The New York Times. She teaches at the School for Poetic Computation and the New School in New York City.
