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 this week's Lunchtime Talk Paul O'Dowd, Research Fellow at the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) joins us to share his research and practice incorporating robotics, art and design.

Paul is interested in the philosophical underpinnings of technology, in particular, the established idea of the 'digital native', and present thoughts on a new generation of people who we could consider robot natives, growing up in a world of robots. The discussion will pivot on the collision between the digital and analogue worlds, the objective and subjective, the material and other - and how these apparent oppositions feed into post digital futures.

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
