Studio Resident Laura Kriefman was recently invited to go over to Burning Man in the Nevada Desert. 

Burning Man has run for 30 years, and every year the participants build Black Rock City. 

Black Rock City leaves no trace, is populated with 60,000 people for a week, and has no phone signal or wifi at all.

During this lunchtime talk Laura will give an insight into the creativity she encountered: from interactive installations, mechanical beasts, secret sound stages and burning artworks. All of which are built to inspire a city that lasts for only one week.

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.
