Craft @ Large

This past Saturday on October 6th, a group of Cornell Tech students who have been working with Niti Parikh in MakerLAB over a past couple of weeks took 'Drawing Arms' for a participatory Art experiment! These arms were inspired from an old tool called 'Pantogrph' which was used for copying a drawing or plan on a different scale by a system of hinged rods. About 3 different Arms with interchangeable colored markers  at varying heights were installed on 6'x16' plywood. 100+ participants of varying ages interacted with 'Drawing Arms' over a period of 5 hours doodling with over 1000+ strokes. It will be  on display just south of campus in the east lawns of  South Point Park for 3 more weeks!

Weekend treat and a great way to gear up for the week of work. 

Once in a while kneeling down on the floor, hand twisting 40′ long packaging paper which came in your amazon box is what I like to do in the LAB!

Always a treat to see creativity under MAKE umbrella on the grounds of Maker Faire. This time in this city of NY, which we call home now!
