Welcome to the 2008 Generator Residents

The Generator opened its doors on the 1st June 2007 and since then has been the home of 5 new creative enterprises: Threaded Magazine, Chris Metcalfe, Greg Holdsworth, Jonny McDonald and Per Dahlgren.
During the Christmas period a call for expressions of interest to join the Generator in 2008 was sent out to graduates from the Unitec Design School. Over the following months a large number of applications were reviewed with a shortlisted number being invited to interview in February.
I am pleased to say that Guy Hohomann, Scott Facer, and Micheal Wang, Alex Chai, David Tran and Santi Fungtamassan of design collective 'Send' were selected as Generator residents with Jammie Whyte joining as a virtual member.
Feel free to drop into the Generator in Building 126 to say hello and to check out the work of the residents.

"For me a business plan is a road-map to make your idea happen. Nothing more, nothing less. I’m not sure creatives should be talking about revenue streams and supply chains when they mean income and a network of friends and contacts in various creative fields. "I met this guy and he knows someone who can help out." That’s so underplayed and yet it’s so important to successful business. Terms like ‘supply chain’ are only so much alienating jargon.”

"Barbara made business seem so relevant. And that made it immediately interesting to me. I really felt that I wanted to understand it better because it’s related to what I am doing"
