Offit Gallery, the Gottesman Libraries at Teachers College, Columbia University - Exhibition BookletKnowing Together is a collection of sculptures created during a workshop designed to explore collaborative means of capturing three-dimensional images. During this workshop, 35 volunteers collectively captured photos of an embrace by forming circles and passing a camera. These images were stitched together to form 3D models whose distortions are preserved as artifacts attesting to their creation process, suggesting novel approaches to photogrammetry that do not treat photorealism as its ideal quality.
The project began as a workshop in the Smith Learning Theater at Teachers College in September, 2018 and was launched as an exhibition on December 6, 2018 at Offit Gallery, the Gottesman Libraries.
This project was made possible by a grant from EdLab at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the continuous support of their staff, including Zoe Logan, Angela Perrone, Ruta Kruliauskaite, Carlie Yutong Zhang, Trisha Barton, Jacqueline Heltz, and Katherine Hoskins.
