Fall Workshops at Headlands: Call for Applications Covert Operations Deadline July 17, 2012

Description

Covert Operations: Hacking the Landscape
A Week-long Workshop | September 7-September 12, 2012
Now Accepting Applications, Deadline July 17, 2012

Join Liam Young (AIR ’11) and Kate Davies of the nomadic design group Unknown Field Division as they take up temporary residence at Headlands. Employing contemporary surveillance technology to map the post-militarized Marin Headlands, the group will hack the landscape to imagine extraordinary futures. Collaborators assembled from the worlds of art, architecture, and technology will guide sorties across diverse local terrains. Laser-scan forests using hi-res, long range optics; deploy infrared night vision cameras to peer through the mist; and build a fleet of drones to map from above. In these shifting fields of nature and artifice, participants will re-examine preservationist attitudes toward the natural world, the ecologically fragile, and the technologically obsolete.
