Tales from the Playa
Lunchtime Talks
Please note: This event took place in Oct 2016
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.
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- a temporary metropolis dedicated to art and community that 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.
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 studio@watershed.co.uk
