Learning Garden: Observation of the Relationship between an Air Balloon and the Virtual Underwater Learning Environment |
|
A group of Master of Fine Arts students led by the lecturer Mr. Luke Ching gathered at the Learning Garden in the evening on the 20th February. They were investigating the meaning of a virtual underwater learning space when it is influenced by an additional object in the form of a performance arts installation. The Learning Path has two 50-metre-long curved tables situated in the Learning Garden with big skylight windows filled with a few inches of water above. The Learning Garden area thus creates a landscape of virtual underwater learning space for this observation.
