Farewell!

Hi Everyone,

So, it's my last day at NTW today, and I just wanted to say a 'goodbye and thankyou' to you all!

The last two and a half years have been an absolute pleasure, and I've had a ball- getting to know you all, and the glorious people of Wales... From Mountains to Forests, High streets to Arts centres, Warehouses to Waterfalls.. It's been one glorious adventure, I've loved every minute- thank you!

Here are some of my favourite photos from the last couple of…

The Woman in the Wall

Recife is full of Stories. Walking around the city with any of the locals and you're absorbed by them, attracted to their charm and their sense of place. 

Most of the stories are located in a place within the city, for example there's this plaque (pictured above) which tells the story of an old beggar woman who died recently, they say that she was secretly…

Help us re-imagine online collaboration!

Last year we began a research project into online collaboration through our project The Studio, which is funded by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation. We started by working with four small focus groups, who used tools like the NTW community, Skype, Facebook and email to share ideas, thoughts and feedback as they began to make new work together. For some, that collaboration resulted in a project that…

The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning: Livestream stats from Edinburgh

Hi All,

 

I've just been looking at the analytics from the Livestream of The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning in Edinburgh, and I thought you might be interested in some of the headline figures about the livestream.

From Edinburgh to space… and back again.

Well, I had one of those moments last night when it was taking me 7 seconds to load a web page. I was getting incredibly frustrated, which resulted in me either swearing at, or trying to reconfigure all the various bits of tech that surrounded me at the Livestream control point of The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, which is showing at the Edinburgh Fringe (and online) until 25th August. …

The sounds of Anglesey (#waleslab / DIY Festival)

It was a bit of a climb, but I found some 3g.

 

It's interesting as Digital Associate to be removed from a strong wifi / data connection for more than say, 3 hours. It's fair to say that I'm not that great at being disconnected. And though I do advocate for taking time off from the internet every once in a while, when you're trying to get work done, or when you're on holiday, being with out 3g for large chunks of the day…
