Seated at the Electra Cinema within the Tyneside Cinema, a historic building that is the UK’s finest surviving newsreel cinema.

Just listened to basic housekeeping by Dave Moutrey of Cornerhouse who is chairing proceedings.  Now hearing about the architectural firm who have provided an interesting RFID visual projection which projects on a screen above the venue’s bar the locations of all attendees who are wearing lanyards with an RFID chip implanted.

Alison Clark-Jenkins, Director, Arts & Development, from the Arts Council now talking about the Arts Council’s Digital Opportunity.

Four (?) key strands to the Arts Council’s plans:

1. Research, learning and policy

2. Building digital capacity – skills and development, network and partnerships, technology and infrastructure, innovation and artistic practice.  “Programme is really about creating innovative art that really engages with people.  85% own mobile phone, 1 in 4 never switch it off.”

3.Public sector broadcasting.

Forthcoming events: Clicks or Mortar?, Tyneside Cinema,  re:boot re:place, Sage, Gateshead.

Here are Alison’s slides:
