Whether we like it or not, everyone is a photographer nowadays. Chatt*lab has been working with the Hunter Museum and Chattanooga Public Library to establish a series of art+technology collision topics. The Hunter Museum’s CREATECH program will feature multiple series each consisting of three parts: exploration, demonstration, MAKE IT! (emphasis added for effect).

The 3rd phase of each series would be actually making something whether it is a photo portfolio, a musical piece, a 3D object. The idea is to get people out of their shell if not comfort zone, and give them an opportunity to dive in front to back. Perhaps it is a technology they’ve dabbled and just gotten stuck. All of this will be facilitated by creating an environment where they can take things to completion, if they choose.

The first topic is smartphone photography. Other topics are still being formulated but 3D printing is one that I’ve personally pushed to the steering group. Fingers crossed.
