Collective Paper Aesthetics were invited by City2Science to create a public activity for the first “Maker Faire Ruhr”. A Maker Faire is a whole family platform for scientists, designers, educators and everyone who is enthusiastic about learning new skills through participating in hands-on activities.
The first “Maker Faire Ruhr” was hosted by: DASA Working World Exhibition space in the city of Dortmund on 12 + 13 March: DASA is a family-friendly museum for interactive exhibits on the world of work past, present & future. Among old electric control panel to a flight simulator one could experience and reflect upon the work of more than 60 makers from Europe.
Collective Paper Aesthetics activity was designed to offer a participatory low-tech relief for the visitors; a moment where a whole family can ease and create a hands-on popup space together. No need in special tools or prior knowledge.
Reusing the molecular modular system designed for Polytechnic Museum in Moscow in 2015 with a customised new graphic created a site specific visual effect as a Field Of Blooming Lupine inside the energy hall at: DASA Dortmund.
