Located in the centre of Dublin, DIT (Dublin Institute of Technology) has existed in its present form since 1992, although a longer history of it can be traced back to the establishment of the first Irish technical education system in 1887. It maintains its primary ideals through its offering of third level education from certificate to doctorate level. Moreover, Alumni of the Dublin Institute of Technology include many of Ireland's leading politicians, artists and writers, including The Boomtown Rats, formed by Bob Geldof. It has a wide range of courses, including Science, Marketing, Pharmaceuticals, Engineering and Architecture, the latter opening up their doors to this year's MEDS (Meeting of Design Students) participants and tutors in Linenhall, opposite its sister building on Bolton Street.
It is on the third floor of Linenhall that the central hub of both the REC and Photography workshops for MEDS was created. The Photography workshop focuses on light-painting techniques –€・a relatively new method of challenging convention with exciting light patterns and displays using long exposures –€・and the REC workshop collaborating with both participants and tutors from the surrounding workshops in order to both record and experience what it means to be a part of MEDS.
