By Who?
Who’s doing all this? Well, the flash conference will be made of a bit of us and a lot of you. As well as asking people to set two of the four main questions of the day, most of the discussion and content of the day will come from people online, and attending IRL. The ‘us’ is Andy Field and Hannah Nicklin. They will select provocateurs to set off each discussion, and program in exciting peformative type interludes and organise the site and building. But it is a collaborative thing.
There’s more about Andy and Hannah below, as well as the kind support being offered by other organisations/people.
Andy Field
is co-director of Forest Fringe, an artist-led organisation making space for risk and experimentation at the Edinburgh Festival and beyond. As an artist he creates interactive projects for unusual contexts, including an audio-journey in a parked car for the Arches in Glasgow, a participatory cinema encounter that toured internationally with Hide&Seek and a festival of imaginary events for Edinburgh 2010.
