The Urban Screen Project

This software allows you to upload photographs from mobile phone to be displayed on a screen or data show as a dynamic collage – it works well at public events where photos of guests can be uploaded to form an interactive social document.

How to download and install Urban Screen software

On the weekend of the 11th to 13th June, nine teams from Dunedin to Auckland compressed their screen based stories into a few minutes on the small screen during the Script to Screen workshop at AUT associated with CoLab. In the three day intensive workshop, teams were challenged to create a 3 minute movie for viewing on mobile phones in a demonstration of how mobiles and the internet have changed the way we see our world.

As a partnership between CoLab, AUT and DOC Lab/Documentary Edge Forum, a new DOC Lab was introduced for new media techniques and methods to documentary. The first event took place at AUT in February 2010.

In the 21st century as the borders between various media blur and break down, documentary content creators now need to embrace cross-media and 360 degree platforms. The DOC Lab 2010 became an incubator allowing attendees the opportunity to develop their projects by sharing ideas as well as through mentorship, feedback and interactive participation.

Australian robotics artist Wade Marynowsky’s November 2010 residency at AUT supported by CoLab and the ST PAUL St Gallery involved the creation of a new work, facilitated by the CoLab Interactive suite, for his exhibition Bricolage Disco at the ST PAUL St Gallery.

International Festival for Sustainable Immobility

A global conference for homebodies. 
The irony of people jetting around the world to discuss sustainability and the environment is obvious but the recent international festival on the topic enabled people to attend without having to travel.
