HACK for CULTURE
During her residency, Catherine Lenoble gave a presentation entitled ‘Hack for Culture’
Time & Location: Tuesday 21.2.2012, @Pixelache Office (Cable Factory, C-staircase, 4th floor)

Catherine Lenoble will share with us her experience of informal learning within the field of art & technology, based on the LABtoLAB experiment.

LABtoLAB was set up by 4 European new media organizations: Constant (Brussels, Belgium), Kitchen Budapest (Budapest, Hungary), Medialab-Prado (Madrid, Spain) and PiNG (Nantes, France). It is a nomadic university project exploring the role of the lab as a space for collaborative learning and knowledge exchange, and examining the possibilities of life-long learning in the context of the lab.

From 2009 to 2011, meetings, workshops and seminars took place in Budapest, Madrid, Brussels and Nantes. Each encounter opened up to a wider community of labs and individuals, and extended beyond European borders. The process and its outcomes are documented through the bilingual issue of the MCD publication on ‘Mapping Media Labs in Europe’, a website and a documentary film (which will be shown during Catherine’s presentation).
