Interactive installations can change the way people relate to their environment - or even if they can't - it's still great fun creating and playing with them.

An interactive installation, in a specific location, can be controlled over wide-reaching communications networks.  This leads to lots of interesting possibilities (and some pitfalls).  Is there more to this than being "just another location based app"?

Tarim will chat about and demonstrate some of the installations he has built over the past years - and also look at some of the early internet controlled installations and what we can learn from them.

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 admin@pmstudio.co.uk
