Art Cars and Clown Tech – Derek Carpenter
Derek Carpenter has been a professional Clown for the last 35 yrs before that an actor. He makes all his own props through necessity, (because he can’t afford the cost of anyone else and the difficulty of describing what is inside hishead). He has made Puppets, wire walking rigs, clown cars, and the latest an “art car” called “Small world” Why? Come and listen.”

Technology – The Next Ten Years – John O’Shea
John O’Shea is an artist and Co-Director of artist collective Re-Dock. Through the transference of digital-realm metaphors onto physical spaces, using simple material props, Re-Dock transform social spaces into information environments using cardboard cut-outs, sports equipment, old rope and balloons. After sharing some recent projects around concepts of ‘interfaces’ John will facilitate a discussion resulting in our collective mapping and extrapolation of technological trajectories for the coming decade!
