Hi all,



The Hub is putting on an event in partnership with CreateKx, hosted at
Hub Kings Cross. It's about how the creative industries are driving
paradigm shifting changes in sustainability through technology.



We have all our speakers lined up but we would really like to have
someone facilitate the evening. Someone who could:



a)    Introduce the evening, provide a short intro to the topic

b)    Introduce each speaker

c)    Facilitate the Q & A

d)    Offer a wrap up summary to close the evening



If you would be interested in taking on this role for the evening then
please do contact me. More info on the event is below.



As this event is free to attend, we would be unable to pay you for
your time. But we will credit you in the marketing for the event and
there should be some excellent networking opportunities afterwards.
Also, it should be an very interesting evening and there may be other
opportunities in future with other events where there is a budget.



I look forward to hearing from you.



Best,



Dermot









Intersections in Sustainability: new avenues through art and technology

6-9pm November 6th 2008

The Hub, King's Cross

Free, but booking required at www.createkx.org.uk



An evening to challenge the way we perceive art, technology and innovation.



In a world which is running out of resources, find out how the
technological world is being re-imagined and recycled. Meet the
artists and innovators who are pushing the paradigm of
'sustainability' in their products and creations.



Hear from entrepreneurs breaking common perceptions by resurrecting
old materials to create dynamic new uses, functions and possibilities.



Topics our speakers will address include:

how software, hardware and creative thinking are benefiting our
community – from local to global
creative applications of eco-media projects, particularly as they
contribute to 'social telephony'.
the notion of artists as instigators of social and cultural change
how artists and creatives can address political issues of
sustainability and recycling while empowering themselves at the same
time



Speakers include:



Damian Kimmelman is director and developer at Vivid Image
www.wearevi.com. Damian will be discussing new ways of manipulating
digital technologies.

Graham Harwood is an artist and educator.  Harwood is also the
artistic director Mongrel, an internationally recognised artists group
specialising in digital media, and creator of The MediaShed,
http://www.mediashed.org/.

James Wallbank is an artist and free technology activist.  James also
directs the art & technology group Redundant Technology Initiative
http://www.lowtech.org, and is the CEO of Access Space,
