DESCRIPTION
I was delighted to be invited to talk all things disruptive media at Creative Pie 2014 hosted at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. This year I decided to explore how research can truly make tangible differences within the creative sector. As such I introduced BOM directed by Karen Newman, an initiative developed and realised during her research fellowship with us at the Centre for Disruptive Media. I am also privileged with sitting on it's board. BOM (Birmingham Open Media) is a new space for art, technology and science. Our building at 1 Dudley Street includes a gallery, co-working and creative spaces which support radical R&D and deliver innovative experiences for public audiences. We work with a range of partners to deliver our programmes, including artists, ethical hackers and critical thinkers as well as forward thinking institutions. We are dedicated to open innovation and to the free culture movement, and are committed to art that has cultural and economic value by asking important questions about the role of future technologies. Opening on 14 November 2014, our new building includes: A GALLERY – showing new exhibitions and specially commissioned work CO-WORKING SPACE – for practitioners exploring creative technologies OPEN STUDIOS – flexible production and workshop spaces WETLAB – a laboratory for darkroom innovation and experiments with open science FOTOFILIA STUDIO – a photography studio, run by Fotofilia CAFE – managed by local tech & coffee entrepreneurs Urban Coffee Company
