Month: February 2011

We’re in the final session of the Digital Creative conference, organised in Tokyo by the British Council. It has been a great two days with lots of stimulating discussion and interesting participants.

We are on the 49th floor of Mori Tower in Roppingi Hills – and the view today has been amazing. Especially right now…

Lovely lunch in the break at #bcdcc. Three people folded chopstick stands from the paper sleeve- me, Neil and Kay.

Guess which was mine…

On stage with Drew Hemment, Fumio Nanji and Taro Igarashi – Wakato Onishi in the chair.

Here are the translators, without whom I’d be nothing at this event!

We’ve just had lunch before heading off to the Japan Media Arts Festival then the Mori Art Museum and then to Mori Tower in Rippongi for #bcdcc

And it was a splendid lunch…

I’m very excited because on Thursday I fly to Tokyo, on Virgin Atlantic (I know, it’s the wrong ocean!), for a British Council organised conference on digital creativity called the Digital Creative Conference. Others on the trip include the inspirational Clare Reddington from iShed, the inestimable Drew Hemment from FutureEverything. the amazing Jim Richardson from Sumo Design and the wondrous artist Duncan Speakman.
Details of all of them are at http://bc-dcc-e.tumblr.com/post/2973321875/speaker-profile

I’ll be giving a talk on Saturday afternoon and I want to use the space to explore some of my ideas around the way arts organisations of all types can engage more fully in the increasingly networked world that many of us inhabit. Everyone involved in arts and culture faces their own challenge of course, not just the arts organisations – audiences, artists and practitioners all work and experience work in a newly configured ecosystem.

I’ll be talking about this in a series of tweets, posts and audioboos between now and the moment I stand up to speak on Saturday – and may not stop then. I’d be interested in your views too, either here or on one of the other social networks that seem to give my work structure these days! There’s a Tumblr at http://bc-dcc-e.tumblr.com/ with all the information, and it will be live streamed so if you’re around on Saturday have a look. My audioboos are at http://www.audioboo.fm/billt/
Watch this space…
