Learning Platform Public Lecture Series

The FAST45 Learning Platform supports the public presentation and representation of live research activities by members of the FAST45 research consortium.


Over a two year research period, interviews, workshops and lectures will be delivered, archived and accessed within the platform. Initially populated by events from the Public Lecture Series, the Learning Platform will create a broad discussion on the historical, theoretical, and political character of educational technologies, platforms and pedagogies in the art school. The archival material produced will generate analysis, critique and experimentation with the form of the Learning Platform, at a time of unprecedented acceleration in digital education.
