Part three

‘Sugar, just like silica, has a crystal state and a glass state. Hard candy is sugar (and some additives) in its non-crystal form. It behaves like glass. It could be blown, sculpted, formed into vases. But instead of long lasting vessels, you get glass looking vessels that have a taste and smell, that dissolve in water. We play with molten then shaped candy – assembling the pools and bubbles into a bigger sculpture.’ (Rimon Allyagon Darr)

Rimon Alyagon Darr is a glass artist and cognitive scientist. She likes creating multi-sensory art that activates the perceptive system in surprising ways. In this workshop she shares her skills from glassmaking with intention for audience participation and play with the medium of candy. 

Departing from a debunking of myths under the guise of a Eurocentric ‘EnLIGHTenment’, this three-evening symposium will present Art/Science knowledge from the undisciplined, the unruly and the unreasonable through performance and discourse, featuring impulses and exchanges from students and guests.
