WORKSHOP: INFINIFOLD with WINSTON HACKING

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to uncover visual connections between images—breaking down subjects into colour, shape, and pattern to build unfolding collages in Photoshop. Inspired by the MAD Magazine fold-in, but reimagined to fold outward infinitely, the process blends digital design with analog play.  After designing their folds, participants will print each section, film the unfolding sequence, and edit the shots together to create the signature Infinifold illusion—a seamless, ever-expanding collage in motion.
