BASE Show and Tell
Thursday 14th May, Leeds Met Gallery, 6pm
Our “show and tell” events are informal, self-organised seminars (we all go and sit round a table in the corner of the mill, so it’s not a lot of self-organisation, in truth!) designed to share knowledge and explore innovation at the point where art and technology meet.
And drink tea and eat biscuits.
For Evolution 2009, we have programmed an extension of the show and tells featuring presentations from outside the group. Places for presentations are on an open, first-come first-served basis but numbers will be limited to allow time for discussion.
From BASE Tom Betts will be talking about gameplay as performance, Alison Mealey and Anneke Pettican about Digital Doubles, and Andrew Wilson about planning a cardboard games workshop. Alongside the seminar, BASE Show and Tell will feature a demo of Tom Betts’s Human Sequencer.
Confirmed guests include Iman Moradi on the glitch aesthetics of carpets and Christopher Ellison’s demo of his lego ‘turntable’
There will be tea and biscuits.
6-8pm, Thursday 14th May at the Leeds Met Gallery, free
To make a presentation please email andrew “at” blinkmedia.org

Lisa played Magnus Magnusson for the First Annual Traditional 8453 Christmas Quiz.
Questions included evergreen festive favourites such as “What were the names of the Three Wise Men?” and “Mary had a baby. I’m having a baby. Which way up is my baby?”
Tom and Jen came joint top, both showing a shamefully full knowledge of the unfamous members of Band Aid.
Alsion suffered a bit from not having been born when most of the pop and TV references took place.
