Lottie Child. Street Training - http://streettraining.org/
Urban survival skills for the 21st century. The ways in which we behave, the ability to negotiate the multiplicity of forces at play in city streets - through engagement of spontaneous urban interventions, we may find that we have the most effective personalised combination of artistic and political expression we possess. By exploring the potential of our considered and instinctive behaviours we can reshape our environments, reconnect and have more agency in the world we live in.

Space Makers Agency - http://spacemakers.org.uk/
Rethinking the spaces in which we spend our time. We work with all kinds of people and organisations to create sociable spaces and sustainable local economies. We research the changing ways in which people are using space and develop new ways of thinking about the spaces in which we live, work and play. Our Associates are artists, activists and entrepreneurs with a passion for creating exciting, sociable, economically- and environmentally-​sustainable spaces — and a history of making things happen.

Dougald Hine got interested in the creative reuse of empty buildings when he was a journalist and activist in Sheffield. Five years later, he started Space Makers to bring together artists, architects, policy-makers, squatters and anyone else interested in rethinking what we do with underused space. Over the past six months, the Space Makers team has been filling twenty empty shops in Brixton Village/Granville Arcade indoor market with temporary creative projects and new community-driven businesses.

Pete Gravell. Science educator and founder of http://teachbox.net - a platform that enables teachers to share ideas and resources. Interested in IT accessibility and engaging the community with technology.

This programme is part of 'Hyperlink: Media Art Contexts' whose principal aim is to present and promote high-quality contemporary media art work, alongside critical discussion of past, present and future media art in a contemporary art context.
