Hi everyone,
Have been reading about the posts on labs and thought I would just throw in some Australian examples. There may be other Australians on this list who could elaborate in more detail.
We have found here in Australia that interdisciplinary labs, which integrates the use of technology in the workshops, have been incredibly important for new arts practices to emerge. One of the earliest models is a lab called Time_Place_Space, which ran for six years. http://www.performancespace.com.au/tps/tpshome.htm
We also fund large collaborative projects through our ArtLab initiative. Some of the examples of the projects supported there are:
1. The WIRED Lab - http://wiredlab.org/
2. Darker Edge of Night - http://www.hellensky.com/hellen.swf
3. Thinking Through the Body - http://thinkingthroughthebody.net/
4. Emergency Remnant ArtLab - http://www.remnantartlab.com/
5. The Transmission Project - http://www.jonroseweb.com/f_projects_transmission.html
Recently we also funded two other lab projects:
1. the first exploring virtual reality art (Australian centre of Virtual Arts Lab) http://www.acva.net.au/
2. the second engaging young and emerging artists in a very large Music festival setting - with some great projects funded by the Music festival. http://www.splendid.org.au/
If you have any questions about these projects - please don't hesitate to contact me directly - [log in to unmask]
