Location: 4:30 3215', Plaza
An abandoned sign making workshop, decorated with curious relics and flame effects, invites participants to enter and discover mysteries of the inventions and endeavors once conducted here.
Within, one finds a robot wielding a blowtorch, requesting input from participants to complete its function to make 'signs' by searing wooden panels with fire. Our robot, Atlas, no longer knows what signs are, what they are for, and is looking for input to make things that are meaningful and beautiful once again.
Participants see aspects of their own nature in the robot and the quintessential purpose of sign making (to which they are invited to contribute), including the search for direction, safety, belonging, understanding, and meaning.
