Slade Technology Fayre

Slade Research Centre, Woburn Square Thursday 7th May 5-9pm

note: now evening only. Venue open all day for install. Call 07976585807 for access Loosely modeled around the format of a science fair, Slade Technology Fayre is an informal non-hierarchical event, which seeks to gather skills and experience into the school and escalate the conversation surrounding work that makes use of technology. At the Fayre all participants are both teachers and learners. For people used to presenting work in a critical context this is an opportunity to take a step back and share information about the often-invisible activities happening in the computer. For those less engaged with a critical sphere, the Fayre is an opportunity to get involved in a discussion about how the work is operating critically as well as technically Fayre Timetable
