From dorkbotbristol-announce at dorkbot.org Fri Apr 25 05:48:28 2008 From: dorkbotbristol-announce at dorkbot.org (dorkbotbristol-announce@dorkbot.org) Date: Fri Apr 25 06:43:11 2008 Subject: [dorkbotbristol] Open Studio Fridays Message-ID: We have recently taken over the top floor of the Leadworks building in Anchor Square (which some of you may have visited for Skillswap) and opened the Pervasive Media Studio. We are keen that the studio is not a closed shop and that we encourage a flow of interesting people, conversations and ideas, so (inspired by Jelly which started in New York), once a week we are opening the doors to anyone who fancies some ?casual co-working?. Open Studio Fridays starts on 2nd May. You don?t have to be working in pervasive media ? it is open to people of any profession/discipline/sector. You could work for yourself or for a company and whilst open studio probably won?t be the place to write a detailed report, it will be good for catching up on emails, thinking up new projects, getting a change of scenery and meeting people to bounce ideas off of. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile) and provide the conversation. Doors open at 9.30am and close at 5pm. Directions to the Studio are http://tinyurl.com/28pcg4. Please email admin@pmstudio.co.uk if you are planning on turning up so we have a vague idea of numbers. The Pervasive Media Studio, opened in February 2008, brings together the computing, communications and creative industries to research and develop new forms of digital media using wireless, mobile, display or sensor technologies. With collaboration across industry, research, academia and community groups, the Studio is an initiative led by HP Labs and Watershed. Hope to see you down here.
