Wow, what a brilliant night we all had at the Cineformation event last night!

The talk had varied speakers from Dr Tom ‘have you read this book’ Abba and Rik ‘new internet tv ideas’ Lander who both rocked out with their own projects. The lovely host Vicky ‘wonky’ Brophy chaired a great night and judging from the comments (some in French!), people loved it.

Thought Den were invited to chair a discussion on the Distribution of Video to Mobile and explore the current scene, but no one had hair nearly as good as Ben’s last night… (more…)

What do you know about the distribution of Video content over Mobile Devices?

We’re chairing part of the interaction to uncover everyone’s thoughts this Thursday (27/03/08) at the Watershed 7PM. It promises to be an interesting night and we’ll be utilising some of our Bluetooth technologies so we’d love you to come. As always, there’ll be drinks in the bar afterwards!

For more details, see the Cineformation site.

Thought Den are still hanging from the Soco Social knees up in London last night (guests of honour, of course – here’s why) and from the dirty-early coach journey back this morning to meet our very special guest, Mr Alistair Darling! He came to open the Pervasive Media Studio and dutifully cut the digital ribbon with an HP iPaq!

Both Clare and Dick from the Watershed lay down some inspirational speeches, waxing lyrical about the fantastic creative and computing industries currently booming in the west country. Roll on world domination. View the rest of the pics here

Great news! We finally got word from Clare at iShed that our Pervasive Media pitch has been accepted. So in the new year we’ll all be putting our heads together, brainstorming, exploring and canvassing the opinions of any one who’s interested, ready for the coming 3 months. Soon enough we might even be able to answer the most important question – what is Pervasive Media!?

During the final pitch session we were introduced to Gill from Plot and John from BDH who have also been commissioned to complete a Pervasive Media project. As it turns out both groups have chosen to explore Pervasive Media using the theme of ‘happiness’, so we look forward to the discussions we will have and to discovering the ways our projects will influence each other over the coming months.

What a great way to start the New Year!
