[vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/44993044 w=600&h=338] Past and Current iLAB Residents along with iLAND Board and community members gathered on June 17th at Eyebeam and along for the Hudson for a day of collaborative exploration and discussion about iLANDing.

We went to a park along the Hudson River to engage in some iLANDing, sharing collaborative process and research tactics.  To do this we broke into small groups, shared our individual research practices with each other and then created an amalgamation of them to share with the larger group.

We then returned to Eyebeam, had lunch and the current iLAB residents, Follow the Water Walks and Higher ED (Ecology+Dance) gave presentations about the work they are engaged in.

These three individuals were the iLAB 2007 residents, who worked on their residency from July through October 2007 in NYC. [Read more…] about NYC From a Native Plant’s Perspective
