The workshop focuses on the subject of “secret”, especially in art and design. Art reveals some things to us and conceals others; the artist can decide what to reveal and what he chooses not to. The students will think of a particular story or secret they would like to reveal, and by means of a technical mechanism and laser cutting they will choose what to reveal to the group, and what not to. The students will work with a technical mechanism that enables exposure and concealment; they will learn how to transform their idea into an artwork in motion.
