Specialmoves presents a ‘Call to Arms’. Our inspiration comes not just from the digital agency bubble but well beyond. So we’ve pulled together some friends, co-conspirators and people that inspire us. To see what they’re working on, to broaden our horizons and hear their Call to Arms.
Speakers include:
Katy Beale, Director, Caper
Caper runs Culture Hack, a format where tech and culture sectors come together to exchange expertise and collaborate. Katy is also co-founder of Coding for Kids, a movement that aims to improve the teaching of computer programming to British children. Her talk will focus on digital disruption and innovation.
Ben James, CD of Jotta
Jotta is a community of emerging artists and designers. Ben works with partners to devise creative projects that tap into this talent. He'll talk to us about a giant hyper-holographic 3d film experience, the ambitious Intel Remastered Project and working with textiles futures students from Central Saint Martins.
Ciaran Park, Specialmoves
Responsive design is changing the way we create and experience interactivity. Ciaran will share what we’ve learnt through building our new site, some best practice inspiration and thoughts on the shape of things to come.
Gareth Neal, furniture maker
Gareth’s practice often involves the fusion of craft, design and technology to subvert the norms. He lectures about Design and Craft, was commissioned by Wallpaper as part of Milan Design Week and has exhibited at the V&A, Saatchi Gallery and The Design Museum, Israel. His talk will focus on how digital is changing his practice.
Jane ni Dhulchaointigh, inventor of sugru
Jane was studying product design at RCA London when she had an idea: "I don't want to buy new stuff all the time. I want to hack the stuff I already have so it works better for me." So she phoned some clever materials scientists called Ian and Steve and together they invented an interesting new material. It's called sugru and was included in Time Magazine’s 50 best inventions of 2010 list. Jane will tell the story of sugru, from an idea to a repairing revolution.
Young guns
James from Hyper Island, Mike from Young Creative Council and Jonny from ShellsuitZombies.
On top of this you’ll get free entry, 3 free drinkies and tunes from our very own Christophe. See you there!
