King, Dorothée: Learning Lab Arts and Design: Re-Processing the Future of Art and Design Education, in: Langkilde, Kirsten (Ed.): Imagine, Basel, 2019, 127-136.

In 2019 the biggest challenge for educators and learners is how to deal with accumulating knowledge and methods - fast growing arts and design learning data. At art and design schools students should be prepared to approach a multitude of learning possibilities as sets of data. In the context of the newly found Learning Lab Arts and Design (LLAD) at the Institute for Art and Design Education in Basel, I sketch an attempt to process and collect multifaceted art and design learning practices in a data toolbox. The approach I develop here favours opportunities to learn from past and future cultures, to learn from other artistic and design diciplines and to jam, sample and mix traditional learning practices. In this article I reflect on past and present art and design learning methods to start collecting data for the LLAD learning tool box.
