Printmaking workshops and centers that are scattered around the world are mostly empty. Their members are anchored to the 19th century traditions. Indeed, to many people, artists and non-artists alike, printmaking is outdated. Especially in the face of duplicable digital art, or singular physical art and NFTs.
We need to recognize a paradigm shift – printmaking is not tethered to the visual arts of painting, drawing, and sculpture, but to time-based arts like music, dance, ritual, and performance arts. Lastly, printmaking is tethered to, indeed it is the forerunner of, all technologies including today’s digital arts.
Why not embrace the paradigm shift, and use gamification and technology to immerse yourself and intensify your experience of printmaking. When you pull a print, log it here with your moment number. Each print you post and it's corresponding difficulty advances you in the game. Look up other people who pulled a print on the same day. Connect with each other to share ideas and techniques.
