Bodies: Art, Architecture & Archaeology, 2024

An NMRG workshop co-led by Victoria Sharples & Rebecca Howard.  

For Bodies, NMRG co-leads Howard & Sharples lead a clay workshop focusing on ‘the building of bodies’. In the workshop participants were instructed by a disembodied ChatBot: ChatGPT to produce a step-by-step ‘body’ in a New Materialist way using slabs and coils. 

Funded by University of Derby’s AHE Fund.
