ENCYCLOPAEDIA
Why we are writing encyclopaedias, dictionaries, term lists…? How and why we are using them? What kind of encyclopaedias we have? Are we satisfied with them? What kind of entities they should be?
This workshop explores the art of shortening and giving multi-sensory easy to understand form for terms and concepts. The aim of the workshop is to enhance already produced Deschooling material in artistic way and try to find new ways to create, frame, finalize and present “encyclopedias”.
