http://www.instructables.com/id/Taking-Basic-Electronics-to-the-Internet-IoT/ DevelopmentsWe are constantly looking for opportunities to learn more about how digital can help the arts to engage and communicate with their audience. On 26/27 February 2013 we are taking part in an Arts Council funded Ideas Lab in Cambridge to further explore working relationships between web developers and coders and arts and cultural organisations. There are Ideas Labs being run in Norwich, Southend, Ipswich and Peterborough this year.
I will be taking data to the Ideas Lab to explore how we can make a user-interface for Norwich - ie how can people be welcomed into and guided round the city's cultural infrastructure. Culture Hack East 16/17/June 2012Spent the weekend at Culture Hack East at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, organised by Creative Front and Caper and funded by the Arts Council. It was a great opportunity to explore what digital technology can do for arts audience engagement and also just for fun. Basically, a hack brings together web developers who are keen to use their skills to do something other than their day jobs. They want interesting projects, and for artists and cultural organisations, there's an opportunity to explore the potential of digital ideas. For more info about the hack have a look at the Culture Hack East website
