Greenbelt 09 – 11-11-11

Does a festival want to hear about my theories of  conversational pyschogeography and how I coerced people into spending eleven hours on a bus that stops where it starts? Quite a few people did, and even stopped to ask questions at the end.

Here are the slides and my recording of the audio for the I gave on Saturday at Greenbelt.

The festival may have better quality mp3s available (recorded from the mixing desk) I’ll post links when/if they become available.

WxWM2 Audio

Thanks to the wonderful guys at Rhubarb Radio (where I also do the Saturday breakfast show, plug plug) the improvised talk on my personal journey towards communities online from WxWM2 is now available as audio. Not only is it the full talk, and good quality, but you don’t have to look at me waving my arms about — and since there were no slides that’s got to be a good deal.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Download it if you wish.

There are also all of the other talks too, not fair of me to pick one out — you will probably enjoy them all.

Media Skills Masterclass with Creative Republic

This coming Tuesday (21st April) I’m one of the speakers at a “Media Skills Masterclass” for the creative industries. I’ll be talking about the differences between getting mainstream media to talk about your product and building conversation around it online. In particular: “why listening to “the internet” is more important than publishing”.

There with me will be:

  • Ian Taylor, Commercial Director and Kurt Jacobs, Head of PR, Marketing Birmingham
  • Marverine Cole, Broadcast Journalist Sky News
  • Austen Duffy, Director FunF Media
  • Anna Blackaby, Creative Industries Editor Birmingham Post

The event is free, more details here: [link]

Memes at WxWM

SxSWi (South by Southwest) is a big conference of “interactive media” types in Austin Texas. WxWM is a slightly smaller and much more hastily organised (but brilliant and fun) gathering held last weekend in Birmingham (the West Midlands…). There was lots of great stuff, which I may well blog about later, but first the self promotion.

Without much preparation, I gave a short talk on memes; particularly where they are slightly rude. Rhubarb Radio broadcast the whole thing live, and also have made the talks available for download.
