similarity tasks

——————————————————————————————————

Sample exercise: 

Take two things in the natural world that do not obviously share a common history or ground, find their similarities, and describe them.

——————————————————————————————————

The tasks within this workshop take participants through an artistic approach to scientific observations of similarities. There are tasks on how to turn these observations into ideas and stories. Next are further tasks on how to use these ideas as creative research to build art or further research.
