Time for Rights is a project to engage young people around the world about human rights issues. It is the first commission of 1215.today, an initiative led by the University of Lincoln (UK) from an Exceptional Award from Arts Council England, to mark the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.

Time for Rights is creating a global video event. At 12:15 on International Youth Day, 12 August 2015, young people will record and upload short videos to tell us about the human right they care most about. They’ll contribute knowing that others do so at exactly the same time, as an act of solidarity. The videos will be posted on Instagram. We will also draw upon them to create a powerful online video mosaic.

In this talk, Studio resident Tim Kindberg will explain the thinking and technology behind the project - which runs against the predominant character of the internet as a vehicle for asynchronous sharing. He will also give a performance of Doing Time, a short play, written by Tim, for four voices out of four smartphones, which featured in the 12.15.today kick-off event at Lincoln Castle prison.

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
