What Will Happen?
The event kicks off with presentations by artists Saul Albert, Ele

different models of participation and engagement. Discussion and debate
will be encouraged in response to each presentation. After refreshments
follows an audiovisual performance by Chinese digital artists 8GG, 'the
air been broken', a new commission by Folly. For the rest of the
afternoon visitors are asked to show-and-tell each other what they do.
All visitors are asked to bring some representation of their own
projects to promote and to share with other potential collaborators.
These can take the form of drawings on paper, objects, a digital

the event with an 'open mike' session of quickfire presentations; any
visitor can present their own or other's work, offer their services and
skills to another project or make a request for help with completing
their own project.
