Thanks to all students from Writtle Interiors that participated in the PartiCity workshop at the Chelsmford Ideas Hub on Monday 15th October 2012.

PartiCity is a digital platform for bringing communities together, enabling people to design their neighborhoods. 

 

Tim McGinley from the University of Reading and Aggeliki Aggeli from WSD -together they make MonsterAttack- presented the platform to the group as a first chance to get feedback on their project.  They also introduced participants to Design Band, a digital tool for collaborative work that borrows a structure from Rock Bands and allows users to post their skills and form new groups that can solve design challenges. 

Unfortunately we ran out of time and we didn;t have the chance to explore Design Band in full extent..We hope to develop Design Band further and set up a cross-course project with WSD students very soon!

Graduate show at Chelmsford's Shire Hall

 The exhibition was organised by Chelmsford Ideas Festival as part of an afternoon discussion about the future of Chelmsford's Heritage Triangle. 2012 Graduates showed their  projects to the public,who engaged in very interesting observations about their ideas. 

Thanks to all that participated! We are looking forward  for further opportunities to show student work in public and exchange ideas with local residents.

                               

Dorkbot London

"dorkbot is a monthly meeting of artists (sound / image / movement / whatever), designers, engineers, students and other interested parties from the new york area who are involved in the creation of electronic art (in the broadest sense of the term.)"

It is definitely worth going to one and explore ideas over a few drinks!!

I went to Dorkbot #71 last week and saw  some amazing full colour holograms..check the website for more information..
