You learn to apply new skills to your own discipline and to view and question your work from a new perspective. The introduction to a new discipline is intended to enrich and deepen your own field. This way you are better prepared for the situation in the current field. You are challenged to experiment and research to discover what is interesting for you as a maker. The outcome is often indefinable and unpredictable, hence the name lab.

Review and assesment

Testing occurs during the lab. Often, it is concluded with an (oral) presentation in which the acquired knowledge is linked to the personal (discipline-bound) work and development process.

You will be assessed on the basis of your active participation in the Medialabs meetings, and the implementation of the make, do and discussion exercises that you receive in class and beyond.
On the basis of the assignments you demonstrate that you have mastered the (creating/research/thinking/professional) techniques provided at beginner level and that you can make with them.
