Culture Hack day
I posted some time ago about Culture Hack Scotland and the work of Edinburgh Festivals Lab (do read it as this will make more sense). I was hoping that some of that work with the arts organisations up there could be duplicated down here in Liverpool and that through my work with LARC I would be able contribute to setting it up. So to the business of this post. So on Wednesday 5th I was invited to attend a meeting organised by LARC at FACT with a presentation coming from Rohan Gunatillake from Edinburgh Festival’s Lab which was very similar to this slideshare attached.
This image is taken from James at tinnedfruit.com and is the image of the app that he created for Edinburgh Book Festival during the culture hack day in Edinburgh. They went on to commission him to improve his prototype.

Read the new How to guides
The AmbITion project for those of you that don’t know was set up in the North West to find ways of educating arts organisations in using new tools and techniques to deal with the demand of the consumer to access arts organisations content. It has done this in a variety of ways and extremely successfully, in fact so successful have they been, that they became a England wide project and now the Scottish Arts Council have also asked them to work with their arts organizations.
One of AmbITon’s first seminars was at an event I organized in Preston in 2006, and through my day job I have been lucky to enough to work with the AmbITion team over the last four years.
Have a look at these brilliantly simple How to guides recently published by the AmbITion team.
