Data Driven Fabrications Connecting With Indiana’s White River


Kevin Klinger, Architecture

Kevin and his students will explore digital technology as a creative medium to fabricate several art installations along the White River.  The seminar will study the geographical history and cultural significance of the White River to Central Indiana and formulate creative responses to collected data. The students will simultaneously trace the evolution of manufacturing in Indiana. Then, using cutting edge technology, they will design art installations built with materials provided by their Indiana-based manufacturing partners. Streaming video and web-based archives will document the creative process and a multimedia presentation will be crafted for the opening of each installation. In addition to the seminar’s industrial partners, it will work with cultural organizations such as the Minnetrista Cultural Center and Arts Place in Portland, IN.

Kevin Klinger, Assistant Professor of Architecture, teaches courses in digital design, design communication and fabrication studies. He has published widely on all aspects of digital technology, and currently serves as president of ACADIA (the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture, www.acadia.org).
