Lunchtime Talks are a series of informal presentations at Watershed's Pervasive Media Studio. They normally take place at 13:00 on a Friday, are free and are open to everybody who is interested in what they do. Come along, bring a sandwich, and get to know more about the Studio community, current and up-coming projects, or residents' work.

In a late change to our scheduled programme, we have invited visiting researcher Jakob Borrits Sabrato to share some of his ideas and emerging projects on the Future of the Cemetery. He is exploring some complex and deeply personal questions about what we want to happen to our physical, and increasingly our digital selves after we die. Jakob says: "The disposal of human remains extends beyond the purely corporeal to increasingly digital and virtual remnants of a human life. This has startling implications both for us as individuals and families and, increasingly, for the Business of dying."

Jakob is a Danish Phd student of architecture, design and media technology, currently a visiting scholar at Bath and here in Bristol to work on The Future Cemetery Project. The forthcoming Future Cemetery Design Competition 2016 will invite people to imagine a world where both human remains and a person's digital footprint must be considered at the end of life. Other projects include The Rooms Festival as well as research at the museum of Bristol.

The Pervasive Media Studio is located within the Watershed building. Let us know if you'd like a tour and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
