Format: Team Building and Networking with Jessica Angel 

ETH Denver Art Steward Jessica Angel will present the MakerSpace program and walk through the space introducing the participating projects. She will assist hackers and artists to understand their possibilities with the projects at the MakerSpace and will facilitate the necessary introductions for participants to engage with the presenting projects.

Format: Workshop / Demo 

Italian artist Mattia Cuttini will present a workshop / demo in the relationship between technological error and art. At the forefront of cryptography, Cuttini's art practice usually results from a sequence of interventions that vary in complexity. Aiming to mold the artificial into the natural, and distort or transform the natural into the artificial, the artist uses the AI tool as a companion, and seeks error from the computer whose objective is to mirror outputs from inputs.

Format: Fireside Chat with Jessica Angel and J’erre (Spanish and English, aka Spanglish)
