Job Description

Contribute to the development of experimental forms, prints, and material systems for HAND/SIGNAL (HND/SGL), an interdisciplinary research and installation project exploring how gesture, creative transmission, and the frictions of intergenerational embodied knowledge can be translated into symbolic, physical, and responsive forms.

You will help translate drawings, graphic musical notation, captured hand gestures and movement data, and other digital captures into physical forms through printmaking, 3D printing, and other fabrication processes. Experiments may include lithography, photolithography, and working with 3D-scanned and volumetric imagery.

The role will also involve hands-on prototyping and material exploration, investigating how printed forms, string-based symbols, and fabricated objects might inform the design and behavior of experimental machines.

Job Requirements

Experience or demonstrated interest in printmaking, fabrication, or material experimentation.

Interest in translating digital and hand-made imagery into physical forms.

Familiarity with, or willingness to learn, 3D printing and related fabrication processes.

Strong visual problem-solving and attention to detail.

Ability to work collaboratively and independently.
