Last night we spent the evening at Tine Bech‘s + DCRC‘s + PM Studio‘s tracing light event.

The event was designed to carry out a public consultation using play. So, no never-ending online forms, questionnaires with leading questions and ratty ladies in the street. Basically, get a load of people together, tell them to think about what the space around means to them, then go out and draw it in fun light shapes. Which… was really fun!

Here’s some of team PM Studio’s pics from tracinglight.co.uk,

It was also a pretty jammy’ night, a great chance to chat with great Bristol artists, business people & photographers. Never mind heading to the golf course for business, Thought Den do it next to the bar, create some art and do research on new media practices too. Bloody brilliant.

Here’s some more things other groups made, and to find out more, contact Tine Bech

The Essential 360 Storytelling Lab is the most advanced and comprehensive short courses in multi-platform media in the world and will be run by experienced cross-platform dramatists Rik Lander and Hazel Grian.

And it’s happening right now in the Pervasive Media Studio!

They’re broadcasting live from London’s National film School and all I can hear from our Thought Den hostdesk is lots of laughing, a very ‘Hazel’ presenter on the screen (she enjoys colourful bubbly characters) and lots of talk about Tweet games.

Wonderful, BBC take note! To learn a bit more from the PM Studio blog, http://www.pmstudio.co.uk/events/mon-22022010-1200am
