A week from today, January 5th, will mark the first lecture of the Presidential Speaker Series “Shared Voices“ taking place at the Rhode Island School of Design. Taking the stage will be Juan Enriquez as he speaks on the newest innovations in digital fabrication, building with genes.
Some principles of design are timeless, but a new language, that of digital code, has fundamentally changed how we make, spread, use drawings, paintings, sculpture, music, photos, video, and film. Now a vast new programming language is becoming increasingly available and widespread, that of life. We can now read, copy and re code life, and this too will fundamentally change how we think of, and how we execute, design…
Enriquez will be speaking from a background in research the impact of genomics on society. He has several TEDtalks and a group discussion will follow the lecture.
The talk will be in the RISD Auditorium and tickets are free, but must be reserved ahead of time here.
