Reflective Washing Lines 2008

The room was divided, using string, into a series of squares. Each student was then allocated a square in which they were asked to work. They were restricted to working within the square and, if they required something from another part of the room (a tool for example or need to access a computer); they would need to communicate this to the student in the square next to them and so on.

The session ended with a group crit of the work the students had chosen to show
