The project was inspired by George RR Martin’s MEOW WOLF installation in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Students who visited the trailer built three dimensional elements inspired by dreams that they’ve had, incorporating their art into overall design. The residency was scheduled during the week before Halloween in order to act as an artistic haunted house for the campus. Parked outside of Ferry House, the Collaboratory was home to an interactive sculptural exhibit. VCNature is an interactive outreach campaign that aims to get people to pay more attention to nature. The display aimed to educate and inspire people to show more interest in the natural world, and promoted the VCNature initiative. The photos were taken by Stephen Kovari ’19 and India Futterman ’19.
The Collaboratory was brought out to the farm, where it house an exhibit featuring native wildlife photos taken at Vassar’s campus. It is the plan to use the Collaboratory again for part of the Spring 2019 semester for the second iteration of the course. With a class of over 30 students, the trailer was re-imagined several times to best serve the lesson plans for each school group. Propose an idea and add your project to the impressive list of Collaboratory events!įor the duration of the spring semester the Collaboratory was used by a new class to bring the exhibit, “Hello, Dear Enemy” to local schools. So far this semester the Collaboratory has been used for a wildlife photo exhibit as part of All Families weekend (for the second year in a row) as well as for Character Day on September 26th.
