Call for students and young artists / designers to participate in
three projects in 2010.
The Patching Zone is a unique opportunity for international and Dutch
students/artists/designers who want to expand their experience and
knowledge exponentially.The Patching Zone produces innovative small

to the process patching method that facilitates trans disciplinary
collaboration.Be part of the Patching Zone team and work for a year on
one of our projects. The Patching Zone will assist with looking for
temporary housing and the team members receive a modest fee.
The projects are all starting January 2010:
Digital Art Lab. location: Zoetermeer (The Hague area)
Research question: what should the new art courses for the digital
generation look like ?
Keywords: art education, game design, youth culture, augmented
reality, performing arts, music, peer 2 peer learning.
The project focuses on the connection with young people, the digital
generation, and aims to provide them with a digital art lab in the
former theatre space of CKC (local culture and art centre). The
training will be built around small digital projects and will result
in a cross-media performance, all in close collaboration with the
staff of the centre and the users.
Runtime: January through December 2010, applications for 1 or 2
semesters accepted.
* Recycle-X-. location: Dordrecht (Rotterdam area)
Research question: how can we gear up the former main street of
Dordrecht towards becoming a sustainable cultural axis of the town?
Keywords: ecology, design, urban planning, site specific
interventions, wearable technology, art and culture industry.
A project in collaboration with local organisations that consists of a
series of ecological interventions against gentrification and a number
of workshops focusing on recycling and urban design that ultimately
lead to a practice based plan for the 'cultural main structure' in the
centre of Dordrecht. A small team will initiate several highly visible
yet subtle performances that stimulate the general public to rethink
their cultural paradigm in respect to their direct cultural
environment. For students with a background in site specific
interventions, urban planning, ecology, anthropology, wearable
technology, cultural industry and social studies Recycle X will be
especially relevant.
Runtime: January through July 2010.
* Living Lab Rotterdam South (Rotterdam area)
Research question: how can we create a living lab node in the southern
part of Rotterdam? How can we use the lab to mature creative talent of
young people in the neighbourhood and provide training for careers in
gaming, multimedia design, dancing, rapping, music (creative
industry). How can we stimulate and support cultural entrepreneurship?
Keywords: gaming, street dance, rap, music, training, design, living
lab, creative entrepreneurship, creative industry, art and culture.
The Big South project moves on where Go-for-IT!, the citygame The
Patching zone is producing now in Rotterdam Zuid, stops. A Digital Lab
will be built where a major end-event will be produced, together with
our partners and young people from the area. For the Big South project
The Patching Zone invites Ma- and PhD students to respond.
Runtime: January through December 2010,
