The eStudio is a co-laboratory, 
a peer-to-peer research and learning studio that encourages students to experiment across media to re-imagine the digital and physical worlds. The eStudio positions the arts at the center of interdisciplinary collaboration. An open and welcoming approach encourages novices and experts to share the successes, challenges, failures, and surprises that they encounter in their learning and research activities. The eStudio is a nexus for students in art to collaborate with and become familiar with research approaches among students in diverse disciplines including architecture, electrical engineering, design, mechanical engineering, theater, computer science, gender, women, and sexuality studies, creative writing, dance, biology, and music.

The array of digital technologies in the eStudio were selected to support students as they learn the languages and processes common to emerging, programmable, machines. These include digital fabrication machines that sew, fuse, cut, etch, 3d print, draw, engrave, paint, solder, fasten, and collaborate as well as technologies for 3d scanning, augmented reality, and programmable electronics that require little or no prior knowledge of programming or electronics. In general the technologies in the eStudio are examples of those that are within reach of students post graduation. 

Our goal is to encourage artists, individually and collaboratively, to gain fluency with the ways of thinking common to digital technologies and to retune these technologies to support their artistic visions.
