I’m really, really animated about being Timespan‘s Geek in Residence from the beginning of February 2015. Yes, that’s right: GEEK. I’ll be spending three months in the north of Scotland working with the latest digital production technology– 3D printers, CNC mills, etc.– to think through, experiment and explore with the local community the impact and possibilities for high tech equipment and global connectivity in places far from the usual urban centres of R&D or artistic practice. Expect even-more-frequent-and-fervent-than-normal, overexcited tweets and posts about 3D prints, digital wrongness, daft costumes, masks, automata and whatnot from now until the Spring, if not longer.
I’ll also be taking part in their True North conference in March.
