Silicon Halton is launching a Technology in the Arts Tech Tribe (peer-to-peer, or P2P) that will focus on creative uses of technology.
You don’t need any experience in the arts to participate, just some curiosity about the role that technology plays in shaping the media that we’re exposed to every day.
Some of the topics we might cover include:
- Digital audio/video production
- Digital photography and imaging
- Commercial and open source media tools
- Digital media software development
- DIY hardware development
- Wearable technology (conductive fabrics, etc.)
- Robotics
- Interactivity and UX design
- Using the arts as a way to get students interested in technology careers
- Financial and legal resources for creative professionals
We hope to split our time between presentations, discussion and hands-on labs. Our first P2P is planned for July 28 where we’ll establish a roadmap for the group going forward.
Help shape the first meetup by joining our discussion thread on LinkedIn here (members only). Just want to register for July 21, 2011 now? Please register here.
Hope to see you there!
