We’re pleased to welcome Social Media Cafe Manchester (@smc_mcr on) who have a couple of exciting demos of emerging technology to share with you!
- The word on the street says BBC R&D has a demo of Perceptive Media which only a selected few have experienced to date. Ian Forrester from BBC R&D will lead a discussion about the technology and it might include a demo too. If you’re into the future of storytelling or media, this promises to be something you won’t want to miss.
- Elliot Woods is a media artist, technologist and educator from Manchester. Discussing the process behind his most recent digital art installation in Korea with studio Kimchi and Chips, Elliot will reveal his practice and reflect on digital aesthetics and the open source digital arts community. Elliot will also introduce ScreenLab, a digital media arts residency that he co-curates as part of the University of Salford Arts Programme, and will reveal details about upcoming personal research projects.
Social Media Cafe Manchester is a monthly meetup for anyone and everyone interested in digital innovation and social media in Manchester. The aim is to get together, share ideas and learn from each other.
It’s an informal event and welcomes a mix of regular attendees and those new to the scene. Featuring a mixture of talks from invited guests and unconference-style sessions proposed and held by members of the community, it’s a great place to get to know the Manchester digital community.
