Digital Tools

DIMY-MYDI

The ‘Digital Toolkit’ has been created in relation to the core values of DIMY-MYDI. The focus was the project’s relation to digital technology, education, and a general critical stance. The digital as a material is easily perceived as intangible. Still, it is here to be molded by creativity. To showcase this potential, two types of submissions were collected between the partner institutes. One is ideas — assignments to inspire students, tutors — and anyone wanting to learn. The other are tools: digital software that can be used in art education. The collaborating tutors kindly shared some of their real-world assignments. The toolkit is made of these creative assignments, practical advice, and successful projects.
