Tate Exchange opening night & an open call to be part Digital Maker Collective 2017 events at Tate
Back to the: Digital Maker Collective
The Tate Exchange finally opened its doors on the 28th September and UAL Digital Maker Collective are really looking forward to being part of an exciting new journey as one of over 50 UK Tate Exchange Associates from across the country.
Tate Exchange Associates include charities to universities, healthcare trusts to community radio stations working within and beyond the arts, working closely with one another and with Tate to respond to the theme of ‘exchange’. See the full list of Associates on the Tate Exchange website.
The Digital Maker Collective are one of three University of the Arts London Founding Associates invited to be part of the Tate Exchange 2016/17 programme. the other UAL associates include Interior and spatial design programme at Chelsea College of Arts and the Central Saint Martins Fine Art programme.
The Digital Maker Collective are an open group of University of the Arts staff, students, alumni who share common goals of exploring digital & emerging technologies in the context of arts, education, society and the creative industries. The Collective meet regularly through interdisciplinary interest led group meet-ups, gatherings, activities and events in collaboration with the arts/tech sector and industries.
The Digital Maker Collective values:
- Support and share unique perspectives of digital making & emergent practice in the arts (openness)
- Foster a co-produced, participatory approach to exploring digital arts learning and social engagement (trust & generosity)
- New perspectives & research on the impacts of digital on the the art school, sector & industries (Risk)
