The booking process that you have used during the regular school term does not apply for Grad Exhibition bookings. Instead:

• Use the Campus Exhibition Application Form.
• DO NOT book requests via e-mail to mediaresources@ecuad.ca.
• If you are part of a group, only one person should submit a request for the group.
• Questions needing clarification will be directed to your ECUAD email. For all communications, please use the same name and student number that you used to complete the form.
• Requests will be processed in order they are received.

Things to Consider:
No headphones are available to loan from Media Resources for the show, students must bring their own.
Power switches and media must be accessible. No climbing ladders, crawling on the floor or lifting plinths to turn your piece on/off.
 

Computer Requests

 
The booking process that you have used during the regular school term does not apply for Grad Exhibition bookings. Instead:

• Use the Campus Exhibition Application Form.
• DO NOT book requests via e-mail.
• If you are part of a group, only one person should submit a request for the group.
• Questions needing clarification will be directed to your ECUAD email. For all communications, please use the same name and student number that you used to complete the form.
• Requests will be processed in order they are received. Be aware that requests may exceed the supply, especially with regard to computers and iPads; please limit your request to one.
• Please consider alternative plans in case a computer or an iPad cannot be allocated to you. If you plan to supply your own iPad for the exhibition please consult with the technicians regarding security and networking. Direct ITS support of iPads in the exhibition is relatively limited.

If you need any of the following items, you will need to supply them yourself:

• Power bars/strips, extension cords, and any other related cables. Three-pronged extension cables and power bars only!
• Data projectors (let the Technicians know ASAP if you are supplying a data projector)
• Speakers/Headphones. You must supply your own headphones; speakers are generally not permitted as the sound may detract from neighbouring exhibits. If you feel your project absolutely requires speakers, you may need approval from the Grad Show Committee. Media Resources has small speakers available for rental, or you can bring your own supply.
• Security cables: if you supply your own computer or equipment, you are responsible for securing it. All equipment supplied by the university will be secured by Gallery Technicians after installation.

If you are going to be requesting a computer, read this before your submitting your proposal. It is highly recommended that you consult with a computer technician regarding graduation projects using computers. The technicians can give you feedback on the feasibility of your project–or the possible challenges it may pose– in an exhibit environment. If you have requested a campus computer, the computer technician will contact you by e-mail to review your request and provide instructions about how to submit your files to us for installation.

 

iPad Requests

 

PRIORITY

• We have a limited number of iPads, and priority will go to interactive projects that make specific use of the iPad or touchscreen.

IPAD SUPPORT

• If you have questions about the iPads themselves and the school’s policies about borrowing and usage, please contact Media Resources.

POWER + CONNECTIVITY

• You are responsible for making sure the iPad stays powered up during the show. The iPads come with the standard charger cable, but not an extension cord. Be prepared to supply and secure your own extension cord if your display space is not next to an electrical outlet. The iPads are set up to easily display videos, PDFs, and websites (either local or online). If your project requires a different format, you will be responsible for planning how the project will function for the duration of the show, and for installing any additional apps with your own Apple account.

DISPLAY CASES

• School iPads can’t be displayed without one of the school security cases.
• Can display vertical or horizontal iPad.
• Can be mounted either to plinth or wall. Cannot be mounted to school tables.
• Cannot be painted. Adhesive vinyl is ok.
• Front panel allows for the use of the home button and front-facing camera.

You can visit Kathleen Jacques, kjacques@ecuad.ca, at the Communication Design studio to to take a look at our custom-built iPad cases for reference. Brian Fossl, bfossl@ecuad.ca at Design Wood Shop can assist with the fabrication of a custom top to fit the school’s existing iPad cases.
