As part of our Merging Mindsets panel series Creative Manitoba along with partners Video Pool Media Arts Centre and New Media Manitoba will be hosting this dynamic discussion on Projection Mapping and Large Scale Projects.
If you’ve ever been to Nuit Blanche, a Cosplay event, or night club – then you’ve probably seen someone lit up in lights. These DIY wearable creators use electronics, LEDs, mini controllers – and more – to enhance what they wear. Come and learn what the pros do, how to get started, where to find supplies and where to go once you have made your own DIY wearable. This panel is designed to inspire and is not a hands-on workshop.
Part of First Fridays in the Exchange.
This event will be recorded. Walk-ups are welcome!

About Merging Mindsets
In cities around the world, the creative arts and interactive digital media sectors are bringing their respective skills together to imagine and create exciting new events, art and products – merging digital technologies with artistic practice. In Manitoba, we’re ready to showcase what our vibrant arts community and interactive digital media sector can do together.
Merging Mindsets will expand opportunities for artists to create using digital technologies while broadening connections with interactive digital media (IDM) related companies that want to innovate using creative talent. Join us as we embark on an exciting series of community-building events exploring the digital tech in art and the art in digital tech while connecting the people in between.
