know I have already mentioned my contacts in
Nottingham, but I have been waiting to have a
meeting with Jim from the Creative Collaborations
Project who works with New Media, digital
technology and its potential creative uses.
-
- I
have had a meeting with Jim and he has asked me
to prepare a brief to put to Webists for them to
contribute to a "Live Streamer Event"
happening between Nottingham and Leeds. It is
part of the 3 cities project which may attract
some funding etc, but we need a product which
includes collaborations of different artists. He
would be able to:-
-
- a)
curate an exhibition;
- b)
Use a Beamer to exhibit on an external surface;
- c)
Live Stream the event as it happens in Leeds.
-
- His
idea was for a theme, and the theme would be:- MAPPING:
-
- Mapping
cities; mapping spaces; mapping personal history;

- Or
you could go further by mapping original sketches
through to the final piece of work.
