I was asked to give a workshop at the Hack4Culture event on the 3rd and 4th March – This is the slideshare from the workshop, I discussed the issues and themes that the images highlight.
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.
Open Source City should be taking place at some point next year, this event project whatever you want to call it needs some working up and the themes behind it need to be examined also. So I was quite lucky to be able to head along to Making Future Work conference in Nottingham last week.
Culture Hacking has never looked so good.
I have been watching the work of the Edinburgh Festivals innovation lab over the past few months with an enourmous amount of envy. They have been doing some fantastic work and it would be great to find a way of starting a Cultural Innovation lab project here in Liverpool.
