New and improved Undergraduate Studios at Goldsmiths Design
Students coming back to Uni this week from their winter break found the undergraduate studios in the old Gym space in a new and improved state. Surely you’ve already had the chance to have a look around and take in the changes, but what do you say about a peek at the work in progress?
Studio manager Vinny Montag has shared with us these images of the empty studios during these refurbishments for which staff were hard at work:
Goldsmiths Design student Lena Asai featured in article on biohacking
BBC Focus Magazine published an article on biohacking in its December 2015 issue, which mentioned Goldsmiths Design student Lena Asai:
London’s Biohackspace currently has about 20 regular members from various backgrounds, ranging from artists to engineers. Most have no scientific training. Lena Asai, a design student at Goldsmiths, University of London, got interested after seeing biology-inspired art at a museum in her native Japan, where a scientist suggested she find a community lab. That led her to Biohackspace.
“They didn’t know what to do with me in the beginning,” explains Asai. “The first thing I said was, ‘I want to play around with DNA and stuff’. Obviously I didn’t know anything back then!” She has since attended a bootcamp at University College London (UCL) to learn basic genetic modification techniques. Her goal is to bring scientists and artists together. “We’re not doing science just for fun,” she says. “A communal lab is a great place where we should initiate collaboration.”
