Narrative Laboratory for the Creative Industries

This blog started off while I was attending the NLab at DeMonfort University in Leicester, with the encouragement of Prof. Sue Thomas.

The NLab is a series of workshops and events that address issues of content and form in the fields of creative writing and new media. Its aim is to bring together writers, theorists, creative industries and other cultural professonals and facilitate them in finding out their common grounds, differences, and potential for new collaborations. NLab aims, through this process, to generate some pioneering partnerships for the production of diverse digital narratives and high-quality digital content. The workshops look at the fields of gaming, broadcasting, publishing, heritage, and software.

The next NLab workshop on creative writing and new media will take place on 23 June at DeMonfort University in Leicester. More information is available at the workshop wiki. This workshops is free and open to everybody but you do need to book by the 16 June if you would like to attend.

Creative Cyborgs will show up at the Science Museum's Dana Centre on 16 May, 7-10pm. Creatures born cyborgs will be there to showcase the impact of new technologies on us, (post)humans, our imaginary and our physique. The event will feature an exhibition, disucssions, live performances, and other exciting interventions. Come along!

Creative Cyborgs is part of the workshops Computational Models of Creativity in the Arts, co-organised by Goldsmiths and Birkbeck Colleges, University of London, and the University of Sussex.
