Data can give us windows into hidden worlds that we don’t see in our day-to-day lives. Nuggets of information are buried in the vast swaths of data around the world. How do we get at this data? How can we manifest the data so it becomes meaningful to people?

Studio Resident and founder of Data Unity, Kev Kirkland, will talk about inspirational projects that bring data to life. We’ll look at examples from data visualisation, social data, art and interactive documentaries. Kev will  also show us the work Data Unity is doing to bring data back to the real world through Open Data Spaces.

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. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
