Tate Britain - Tate Exchange (TeX) Digital Maker Collective planning meeting - WEDS 7th DECEMBER 2pm to 5pm
We had a really productive meeting and a great turn out yesterday 20+ the full agenda of items covered in this meeting and the notes/key take away points from the meeting are below.
Notes/key take away points from the meeting:
- We should all try and visit the Tate exchange week beginning 9th - 15th Jan for the first Tate Exchange Associates event led by Central Saint Martins see info here. (11th Jan being the main day to visit)
- We should consider how we can start inviting people to the Tate for our events, also how we can let people know in the Tate on the days we are there that something is happening on the 5th floor.
- Think about how you can document your event/intervention, record photograph also need to talk to Tate about what is ok in terms of photos etc.
- We have a budget for Tate Exchange essentials:
- Training staff & students
- Food and drinks for the event (packed lunches)
- Van hire (anyone know a UAL van hire solution)
- Small kit
- Artstemps support (AV support, runners, on the door, help with event set-up, promotion, web building)
- Mobile kits like Pi-Top
- We should have lots of back up AV cables
- Wifi in the space may be an issue so need to look into having ethrenet cables
- Timetables - we need to start to plan the timings for all the days activities
- We should have some project showcase/PechaKucha sessions so we can see what others are doing and how they are developing and provide some critical feedback
- We need to start trying to capture our journey so if everyone could consider starting sharing reflections via blog or video then please do, this will help us start the process of evaluation now rather then after !
