Thursday, May 22: ExLab meeting
This meeting is about our current projects: “Italian pictures”, “The gangway,” “Learning at RUC 21st century workshops,” and we will also discuss possible future projects in collaboration with Experimentarium, BiMus, Roskilde Museum, and DigHumLab.
We are still waiting with bated breath for the answer to our Marie Curie application.
Meeting Wednesday, May 21: Visualization.
This Wednesday we will meet and brainstorm to answer the question: Is visualization a theme of relevance to our interdisciplinary collaboration involving Computer Science, Performance design and Communication studies?
Fernisering af Italienske Billeder på Roskilde Bibliotek, 8. maj kl. 16.
–
En digital skitsebog i overstørrelse med Bjørn Laursens spændende tegninger fra Italien vil være opstillet en månedstid på Roskilde Bibliotek. Formålet er bl.a. at få undersøgt robustheden af opstillingen og se hvordan denne formidlingsform fungerer i praksis et sted hvor der kommer mange forskellige mennesker. Men kom og kig, gerne til ferniseringen, hvor der vil være korte taler ved rektor Hanne Leth Andersen og fra CBIT Bjørn Laursen og Henning Christiansen – og der er reception bagefter!

ExLab meeting Thursday 27. february 2014
Today we discussed our mutual initiatives, among others, the Italian Pictures project, the BiMus project, the meeting with the Experimentarium, the student workshop project The experimental teamwork space (rektorpuljen), and our research ideas about Visualization: Social media and performativity.
The Italian Pictures installations will be exhibited at Roskilde Libraries from March 8, and we look forward to collaborating with the library about this exhibition.
Following up on John and Sannes recent meeting with The Experimentarium, we have invited Jonas Wang and Ali to join our next meeting March 27, 9.30 to show them the ExCylinder and to discuss our ideas and experience from other projects also. If possible, we will, however, seek to arrange a meeting earlier than that, preferably mid-March.
Italian pictures at Instituto Italiano di Cultura di Copenhagen, Friday 22-11-2013
This Friday evening Bjørn Laursen opened the exhibition Italian pictures at Instituto Italiano di Cultura di Copenhagen. The exhibition shows the many evocative and sensual pencil sketches Bjørn has drawn during his visits to Italy.
Part of the exhibition is an ExLab project run by Bjørn, Henning Christiansen, Ates Gürsimsek, Steffen Thorlund and Morten Brandrup and the exhibition made possible a first presentation of the ideas and a prototype of this project. It aims at an intelligent, interactive, and digital version of Bjørn’s sketches and sketch books in a theatre-like and hexagonal shape – an intelligent hybrid of books, theatre, and exhibition sensitive to the visitors movements.
FAB LAB RUC meeting, Friday, November 15 2013.
It has just been decided to co-ordinate the diverse activities of some of the labs at Roskilde University – ExLab, HUM-TEK, and a Performance Design workshop – and to share the resources allocated. The organizing principles of this initiative are inspired by the FAB LAB movement an the related ideas.
In the meeting, Friday November 15, Jens Friis Jensen, Connie Svabo, Michael Haldrup and Sisse Siggaard Jensen discussed how best to initiate this, and also, how to coordinate and share resources.
As a first step, we decided to meet once a month to establish some of the needs and requirements of this initiative.
Organisation and Management of Design, Friday November 8.
This Friday I will discuss the ExLab initiative with a group of students to make concrete and exemplify the development of an innovation, i.e. ExLab, and the many problems and barriers we have met some of which we have managed to overcome.
I will point out the three interrelated problem areas: Cross-disciplinary collaboration, technological complexities, and the lack of economic means.
