Mary Maggic: For All Disobedient Bodies #2

“For All Disobedient Bodies #2”
Workshop by Mary Maggic
Thursday 21 April 18.30-20.30

das weisse haus, Hegelgasse 14, 1010 Vienna

Welcome to an evening for open sourcing our bodies. This hands-on workshop will activate the Genital( * ) Panic clinic by flowing through three processes: 3D scanning, processing and editing the scans, and finally 3D printing. The 3D genital scanning will be performed in a private space. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops to edit their 3D scans. Lastly, the workshop will conclude by 3D printing our AGDs (distance between the anus and genitals) as physical objects to keep and wear with alien pride. No prior experience is needed.
