Technologist, interaction designer and Studio resident Tarim will tell some stories about what went right and what didn't go quite so right in the development of some of the installations he's worked on with various artists.

Here in the Pervasive Media Studio, we have a brilliant community of residents drawn from a diverse set of backgrounds and disciplines. Sometimes when people join us, they come from more traditional arts or technology environments, and are seeking to diversifying their practice, to learn about, and integrate new ideas from others. This can be an inspiring but often challenging and disorientating process. Finding ways to navigate and translate between disciplines, find a common language and balance expectations can make all the difference. Tarim will share his own unique experiences and reflections on bridging that perceived gap between arts and technology when working with confidence and curiosity across disciplines.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around just before the talk. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk to book your place on a tour.
