Last year, Mike Bennett took up the role of Bristol's Place Making Director.  "Why?", many asked, did this serial entrepreneur who has spent his entire professional life starting and running businesses (e3, Goldbrick House & Bristol Media)  want to take up this hugely controversial role and join the public sector?

Mike's biggest project to date was See No Evil and he's currently plotting a whole host of new ideas for 2012.  He's currently collocating with us at the Studio and in his talk he will be unpicking what it means to be a place maker and how the studio and wider community can get involved in shaping the city. 


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 new space and we'll be happy to show you around! Send an email to Jason@pmstudio.co.uk
