MassArt Design and Media Center Opening

I re-showed my Draw Blocks piece during the MassArt Design and Media Center opening on January 19th 2016 in the newly re-opened Doran Graduate Gallery.


Draw Blocks

Andrew Ringler, 2014

Icon Design by Valeria Lalinde

Draw Blocks is an interactive table-top play and design area allowing multiple participants to collaborate in creating projected images. Patterned wood blocks act as tools within a rich and learnable visual language. By the arrangement of blocks on a glass tabletop participants can build up complex and beautiful forms and colors from a basic set of tools. Participants join in a shared experience, playing or constructing designs, collaborating through verbal and non-verbal means. Sharing, borrowing and manipulation of wooden tools allow participants to communicate intent and desire with each other through their physical actions. Go play!
