The Idea Factory presented itself to Trent Miller in 2022. In 2023 the Idea Factory existed only in Miller’s brain. In 2023 Miller attempted to move the idea into a physical space so that the public could walk around in his brain. From mid-March to mid-May 2024 The Idea Factory had it’s first physical manifestation as an exhibition, residency, and social experiment at Garver Canvas in Garver Feed Mill (Madison, WI). Miller saw Garver Canvas as a space for continued experimentation and making, not a static environment. The best documentation of the Garver experiment can be found on Miller’s Idea Factory instagram story hightlights.
There will be more physical manifestations announced in April of 2025.
