Event | London College of Communication | Make it Through the Night | Blog



Event | London College of Communication | Make it Through the Night | #MITTN

On the 4th of March I was invited to attend a 24 hour art lock in with 3 other students from Leeds College of Art as well as students representing other Art Colleges in the UK. The idea is to take a Hackathon type idea and place it into more of a mixed media environment. 50 students from all different creative courses will be working together to research, discuss and produce a piece of work that represents that night as well as attending talks and various workshops throughout the 24hours.

My aim for the event was to go in and experiment with audio, video and text as well as meeting students to collaborate with that evening and possibly on future projects.
