On Thursday afternoon, I drove to Huddersfield to take part in the We Love Technology salon, which was organised by Lisa Roberts from BlinkMedia. I had teaching obligations, and so was not able to attend the first half of the event. I arrived around 16:00, just in time for giving my presentation: "From GPS to Artificial Mind". The 20 min talk basically was about using GPS for creative purposes and about the possibilities of Creative Technology in the true sense (artificial creativity).
Also from Leeds Met present were Linda Broughton and Ben Dalton. There were many artists and technologists from the region. Also a group of international students attended and gave a brief overview on their work and interest. I talked with Anaeli Kihunrawa from Tanzania, who has a multimedia business there and was very interested in the opportunities and possibilities for creative technology. I offered him to visit Leeds Met, and explore using our motion capture facilities for a project that he envisioned: capturing African folk dancing for 3D character animation.
