Welcome to my ActLab site. The ActLab is a state-of-the-art lab within the RTF department at the University of Texas in Austin. Computers are set up in pods and the centerpiece is a conference table, allowing for constant group discussions and interaction. Classes are taught by Sandy Stone and focus on the creation of things. Students study a certain topic such as Postmodern Gothic and are told simply to make something. Without restrictions, students are free to explore, learn, and take risks therefore producing projects of every medium. Though projects may often end up to have little to do with the topic of the class, they are inspired by that topic and students learn much more by just going through the process of creation. This site features the three projects that I created during the Fall 2006 semester. Enjoy.
