Digital Making Art School

In February & March 2017 the Digital Maker Collective delivered four hugely successful ‘Digital Making Art School’ events at Tate Modern, Tate Exchange. The Digital Making Art School event invited the public to explore, reclaim and confront technology in the arts and society. Digital Maker Collective and guest makers explored the boundaries of participation and interaction through digital experiments, performances, interventions, and conversation. The events took place on the 8 Feb-22 Feb, 8 March-22 March and included the participation of UAL staff, student’s alumni, industry, sector, local communities and the public. Highlights from Tate Exchange 2017: Over 2,000 public visited our events over the four dates. 150 staff, students & alumni from across ALL UAL collages/dept delivered events. Many staff & students visited the events, led to increased curriculum engagement. Sector/community guests delivered workshops & presented at the symposium. Visited by Director of Tate Modern & Tate Council who talked with students. Lots of positive interest & praise from Tate & Visitors. Very positive staff & student feedback, was seen as an ‘intense learning experience’.
