# Event Details - **Event Name**: SCG Workshop ll with Florine Démosthène: Collective Specimen - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 15 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Tue, 15 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm - **Event Description**: In "Collective Specimen", participants become creature engineers, working together to invent and construct one giant hybrid organism using collage. Images of animals, plants, machines, landscapes, and textures are cut, recombined, and layered to create a spectacular creature that could never exist in the natural world, but feels strangely alive. Working on a single large sheet, the group must negotiate scale, form, and composition together. The creature grows piece by piece through bold choices, playful risk-taking, and collective imagination. Rather than aiming for perfection, the focus is on experimentation, visible layering, and the thrill of building something unexpected with others. By the end of the session, the lab will have produced a massive collaborative specimen, part artwork, part mythological being, and entirely the result of many minds working together.
