Open Collab Design Workshop

Open Collab is a platform created to facilitate remote collaboration between creators. Participants respond to a predetermined subject by creating texts or images. Once submitted to the platform individual content is randomatically combined into an endless stream of aleatoric compositions.

The platform gives users the opportunity to connect and enter into dialogue with other creators. The process permits them to see their work from a new perspective and potentially identify collaborators for future projects. Most importantly it is a fun and playful way to learn, develop and apply new skills.

I am grateful to have taken part in a number of these sessions over the last few years. From our ‘Go Global, Stay Local’ workshop that gave the Covid Pandemic a statement blue look and allowed me to collaborate with designers from all around the world, through to the hyper-colourful outcomes of our latter sessions. I’ve selected a number of my favourite outcomes and displayed these below.
