The mural explains the CMYK printing process in a playful, experiential way for visitors of all ages. In March, I was invited back to design two drop-in workshops for adults and families that would give participants a way to experience firsthand how this printing process works. I created a set of 20 custom stamps, each with a different dot matrix pattern, ink density and angle, mirroring how colour plates are arranged in print. With these stamps, it’s possible to generate up to 1,295 CMYK colour combinations! By stamping layers of cyan, magenta, yellow and black dots, participants could create their own analogue ‘pixel art’ prints. After printing, participants could examine color magazines, newspapers and more under a microscope created by Jord Liu for the workshop. The slow, tactile process of stamping seemed to unlock a different kind of engagement: participants spent time crafting their artworks, often coming back for more paper to try new ideas. I’m increasingly interested in how low-tech, lo-fi systems can still create rich, informative experiences and this workshop was a good reminder of that! Thanks to the wonderful Exploratorium team for supporting me through this workshop development and making me very jealous I don't work there full time 😍 #InformationDesign #ExperientialDesign #WorkshopDesign #CreativeLearning #Printmaking #ParticipatoryArt #PublicEngagement | 25 comments on LinkedIn Wed, 06 May 2026 11:35:57 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://www.pixelscope.de https://www.pixelscope.de/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://www.pixelscope.de/videos/watch/eb0bcbc1-7a12-4901-aa76-3e9513e49e3b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://www.pixelscope.de/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
