Less than a week until we kick off the first Collective Study at New Stadium. We’re linking up with @bebecle to get into the world of photographer @nadineijewere - specifically how she traded the usual fashion tropes for a focus on softness, joy, and a whole new perspective on beauty.
Think of this as part lecture, part living room hangout, and part cultural salon. It’s a space for the curious to step back from the chaos and dive into the work of the people who actually shift the needle on culture. If you’re around, hit the link in the bio to RSVP. Come through, grab a seat, and let's talk.
The Poetics of Scent – Perfumery Workshop
Thursday, May 21 at @newsystems_
Develop a richer vocabulary for the air around you and create your own custom fragrance to take home in a 15ml bottle.
Spots are limited.
Link in bio to register.
Our relationship to scent is complex and rarely at the forefront of our minds. Join us on this spring Thursday evening for a focused time to get more familiar and curious with a sense we rarely give space to.
Our goal will be simple: to build a wider vocabulary for the air around us.
We will start with a brief history of smell as a commodity to see how fragrance became a product. After that, we will do an exercise in sharpening our scent vocabularies.
We will also use a Proustian Questionnaire to map out your internal landscape. Then, we will shift that knowledge and energy into creating a fragrance of your very own making.
You will spend the last part of the evening blending your own formula. Everyone will leave with a 15ml bottle of your own perfume. Join us for a whiff of something new.

On April 13th we welcome watchers and presenters alike, bringing together creative coders, Node based algorithmic artists, and anyone fascinated by the beauty of code-driven art. Think Touchdesigner, Processing, p5.js, shaders, creative coding frameworks, generative art made by human logic, loops, and a whole lot of curiosity.
Open call
Due to popular interest, we’re excited to announce that we’re adjusting the format. We’re moving from invited speakers only to a mix of invited speakers and an open call for anyone who’d like to share their projects. This change will also apply to our Physical Computing Show & Tell.
We’re so happy to see this community growing, and honestly blown away by how many of you have incredible work to show. We want to make room for all of it.

Confusing Touchdesigner workshops not working out for you? Stuck in tutorial hell? Want to see how people solve real problems with this freaking program?! You should come hang out on April 15th from 6-8pm for a workshop I've been wanting to try!
🔗 Luma link in bio!
The plan is to pick something to work on together; maybe we find a post from Instagram we want to recreate, maybe we make something up on the spot. Whatever we pick, as I work I'll try my best to narrate everything I'm doing to help you understand what the process is.
