Two second-year students who took part in the techne seminar/lab, Vivien Chan and Charlotte Slark, created a series of videos to document the lab sessions in the module. Making the films posed various challenges and they offer a record of the changing thought processes, decisions, reflections and surprises that characterised this experimental class.
Vivien and Charlotte are currently using their skills to help record workshops for the V&A Research Institute (VARI) project, Encounters on the Shopfloor: Embodiment and The Knowledge of the Maker, bringing together practitioners in the arts, performance, humanities, sciences and social sciences to explore making and embodied knowledge.
The techne videos reinforce the themes explored in the series of blog posts about the class:

It was fun watching the videos for sharing the videos
Glad you enjoyed it. We surely loved experimenting!
