About the Workshop
The 13th amArte workshop “Digital Archiving of Space and Time,” was led by master artist Miguel Rodriguez, at Travis High School. The workshop was held for Ms. Miriam Reyes-Juarez’s CTE Engineering class. Miguel Rodriguez’s work is a contemporary approach to art making through the utilization of new technologies such as 3D modeling, texturing, sculpting and volumetric photogrammetry. This practice exists on a continuum of his larger goals, as a world-builder in efforts of both deconstructing and reconstructing the complexities of the human experience and the immortal potential of our collective digital afterlife.
Students were mentored and acquired tools Miguel frequently uses in creating his artwork, such as 3D scanning objects around campus, and even entire rooms and spaces important to them, since Travis HS will be undergoing a renovation in the coming years and no longer existing as they and many generations before them experienced it. The students also had a chance to gain experience with the computer graphics software, Blender, by exploring new iterations and textures applied to objects and spaces rendered by the students. Miguel brought closure and cohesion to the workshop by creating a video flythrough of a composition he created using everything the students scanned with their chosen textures applied
