Pitch Us a Talk

Every Friday we offer free, informal lunchtime talks from people sharing projects, process, ideas and provocations around pervasive media and creative technology. If you or someone you know should be a part of our programme, contact Martin O'Leary.

BBC R&D brings you a lunchtime of stories about storytelling in the new the now.

How long have you got? That’s how long it will last. But what if you haven’t got that long?

Then it will be shorter? But who decides? You do. When? In the moment.

What might our interaction with media be like in the future? How will the crafting of media experiences help us live our lives?

BBC R&D’s Connected Studios and UX lab will bring their tales, technology and challenges to the Studio to share their work and ambitions. Some explorations can be seen here: bbc.co.uk/taster

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 studio@watershed.co.uk to book your place on a tour.
