I’ve been happily asked by the Open Data Institute to curate their Creative Labs, as part of their excellent annual Summit, taking place in that London tomorrow, Tues 3rd Nov 2015. I took the name “creative labs” to heart, and invited around twenty lovely artists, researchers and otherwise confused people, all taking a wide-eyed approach to technology, to come along and do activities outside of any top-down structure. People taking part:
- Julie Freeman
- Joanne Armitage
- Shelly Knotts
- Gemma Latham
- Robin Hunter
- Matthew Yee-King
- Chris Kiefer
- Alice Eldridge
- Sarah Angliss
- Benedict Phillips
- Glenn Boulter
- Dave Lynch
- Karen Gaskill
- Jon Harrison
- Kasia Molga
- The Space/WIRED Creative Fellows
- Nick Rothwell
- Mike Worboys
- Andrew Wilson
- Tom Mudd
If you’re at the summit come and check it out.. It’ll be running from 11am until 4pm. There’ll be headphone performances running through the day, showcasing live coding and other forms of strange technological music performance, as well as mini-installations, hands-on activities, and people trying out new ideas, looking for feedback.. Some of it will be open data driven, and it’ll all be in the wider spirit of open exploration.
This is connected with other alternative hack events as part of the Inhabiting the Hack project.
