Artist-in-Residence Deanna Sirlin continues her residency at the Georgia Tech Library Feb. 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Library's Crosland Tower second floor classroom with a workshop entitled “Science Fictions in Real Time.”
Users will create a Utopian/Dystopian environment using Adobe Photoshop.
Participants will take photo(s) with their phones of a place in Crosland Tower or the Price Gilbert Library, either looking out from or into the building. Using Photoshop, participants will learn techniques to alter the photo into a science fiction tableau.
Participants will have access to Photoshop using the in-room computers.
