The Lab.
In 2008 I established the Electronic Arts section at the Dunedin School of Art. Central to the section is The Lab, an environment where all senior students work alongside each other, share knowledge, collaborate and engage each other’s projects. Currently in the lab are 18 senior students incuding 3rd yr BVA, 3rd yr BFA, Graduate Diploma and 4th yr BFA students. All students blog their research, some of their blogs are here:

The Stand Up
Core to our operations in the lab are weekly standups, where we all present work from last week and anticipate our work for the future week. Stand ups are egalitarian and staff and students present together. I have now established monthly standups for postgraduate students and staff.
