Had a chance to visit the fantastic #nostalgia collection of Christopher Moore, #artist and Professor in Computation and Design Arts who “ #designs out of the present ”.

What makes up the “thing” we call #nostalgia?

Chris Moore has🪑 chairs from #TheJetsons, a 🚀 videosphere re #Sputnik, and over ☎️ 200 rotary phones.

We’ll be chatting nostalgia, #design, #art, #collection, and the “value” of it all… 🔴LIVE on DEC 3 at 13:00 (EST)

Messy, abstract, & overly politicized ideas like #nostalgia and #home — can it be an #art #workshop?

24 folks in #Montreal explored this with #burlap by reweaving intentionally.

My home was tied up by red/white 🇨🇦 and blue strings 🇹🇭. I reimagined my past more honestly, truthfully, & creatively.

On Nov 25, we'll be Weaving Stories of Home. If you are in #montreal then, come join me at the Milieux Institute, where you will:

- Learn to unweave & reweave with two #textiles specialists
- Share and create a "material home" for your #nostalgia
- Drink hot choc during a snow day :-)

🏡 “What should’ve been a return home turns into a visit of someone else’s house”

👾 The rise of #retrogaming is indicative of our relationship with #nostalgia as a #collector #consumer and #researcher

What does nostalgia look like? At a talk I gave today at Tampere University’s OASIS lab, #nostalgia was a collection of leaves marked by people’s definitions. 🍁

They passed their leaves to others, and received a new set; if they agreed— fold once— if they did not — crumple ‘em up!
