In this Lunchtime Talk we'll hear from Oma Keeling, Editor of Container Magazine, a experimental digital magazine which runs out of the Pervasive Media Studio. It focuses on human stories about creative technology from underrepresented voices and angles. As its five year publishing run comes to a close, Oma will present extracts from the magazine’s deep well of work in a talk that uses collages and embodies its founding idea: the carrier bag.
About Container Magazine
The name and ethos of the magazine is inspired by Ursula LeGuin’s essay The Carrier Bag of Fiction in which she tells the story of the container: the most humble, the most useful and quite possibly the first thing the human race invented. The container is the bag you put things in because they are useful, edible, or beautiful and because you want to share them with your community. It signifies what it is to be collectively human – expansive, communal, representational, and more about process than destination.
