DodoLab is a collaborative, nebulous “organization” that stages interactive seminars that ask its participants, “What are the barriers to adaptation and change?” The question is posed in as many ways as it is answered through a variety of participatory projects. (Full disclosure: I traveled to Montreal with DodoLab as part of their involvement with WEEC5.)
What’s interesting about DodoLab is that it is never one thing, one project, or one idea, which fits well with their interest in adaptation and change. What links all of their projects together is their dependence on participants to supply data or share experiences. There is no “final product” with DodoLab, just new evolutions of ideas, questions and responses.
Read their About page for a list of DodoLab values. You can read what DodoLab is, and what DodoLab isn’t. And on the latter’s list? DodoLab isn’t just an art project.
DodoLab is a great example of how relational art can be collaborative, educational and investigative.
