Pawn Tomorrow: Workshops with the Extrapolation Factory

Sun, Aug 24 / 12–4 pm

You just came up short; you're in a pinch. Think fast—what could you exchange at a pawnshop in the future? Would you pawn your grandfather’s vintage Google Glass? How about a few snippets of your genome? Or possibly that new synesthesia headset you just purchased?

Join the Extrapolation Factory founders Elliott P. Montgomery and Chris Woebken and design objects for a series of possible futures. Over the course of these hands-on thinking and making workshops, Montgomery and Woebken will guide museum visitors in imagining possible futures for our world and help them transform these ideas into physical objects that will be on display in the museum over the duration of the exhibition NYC Makers: The MAD Biennial.

Please review our health and safety protocols before you arrive. MAD strongly recommends all visitors six months and older are vaccinated against Covid-19 and visitors ages two and up wear face coverings, even if vaccinated. Thank you for your cooperation.
