In this one-day workshop the participants will have the opportunity to experience conceptual and manufacturing aspects of this technique in an applied process.The result of the workshop will be the presentation of a jointly designed anamorphous media installation in the style of a diorama.By playing with perspectives the motto of this year’s European Forum can be visually experienced.
