THRESHOLD EUROPE'S LARGEST FESTIVAL UNDER ONE ROOF

February 11-13 2011, CUC Liverpool

Photographer Peter Carr is set to launch an innovative Social Media photography experiment at this weeks Social Media Cafe.

Encounters with strangers is billed as a photography exhibition that merges the real and virtual worlds

The unique exhibition will be part of the Look11 festival photography festival  and will feature portrait photos of strangers – nothing unusual there perhaps. However instead of displaying these portraits in the traditional manner in a gallery, the photographer is using social media to let the public encounter each photo out on the street in the location where it was taken.

The most awesome of Music events is on now in Manchester and if you have the time this weekend I suggest you get over there - not only for this National Unconvention but also for the mad AND Fest - which presents art, creativity and technology merged into one amorphous mass of flashing lights and screechy noises.

But to return to our subject matter - this year’s national Un-Convention event promises to be the biggest and best yet. Taking influence from Un-Convention events around the world and inviting some of the most inspirational and influential figures from the global grassroots music scene – this year will use Un-Conventional spaces – including a barge, Salford Lads Club, Chapel Street venues - Sacred Trinity Church, Islington Mill, Salford Central Station; and explore new and cutting edge issues around music, technology and creativity.  It's on now till Sunday 3^rd Oct….
