Grow Your Own Media Lab is a trans-regional action research project that aims to investigate, improve and document a low cost, participatory, open source media lab model.

Perimeters, Boundaries and Borders is a f.city exhibition from fast-uk and folly from 29 September - 21 October 2006 at venues across Lancaster city centre in the North West of England, presenting the very latest examples of work that blur the conventional boundaries of arts and design practice through the use of technology.

Perimeters, Boundaries and Borders will present an exhibition of both newly commissioned and existing works which explore these creative perimeters, including but not limited to: computer-designed or manufactured objects and environments, visual and audio installations, pervasive and locative interactive pieces, games and game installations and 3D net based works. The GYOML in 3D workshop will be delivered by Julian Oliver exploring the concepts of the exhibition Perimeters, Boundaries and Borders using the application 3D Blender.
