UK Events for the Media Geeky

The Dana Centre in London UK is hosting the Take Away Festival - DIY Media this week - May 9-11, 2007…. sigh. It sounds like an awesome series of deep geek panels and exhibits with groups who are applying the DIY ethic to technology in all kinds of logical and cool directions… can I coin the term logicool?

For examples of logicool … I mean the Take Away Festival programming.. check this out:

A Swarm of Angels - remixing cinema A Swarm of Angels bridges the gap between Hollywood and the new world of user-generated content, creating a new type of participative cinema. This presentation will look at the elements making up this ground-breaking project.

Anti-Apathy Lifeline Issues Spring is on its way and things couldn’t be better in Worn Again world, where everything - from prison blankets to car seats and reclaimed jeans - are given a second chance and a new lease of life.

theOScarproject - Release 0.2 The goal of the OScar Project is to develop a car according to open-source principles. Can new ways of mobility and open-source ideas spread into the real physical world? Find out in this presentation.

All of this makes me giddy with glee, even all the way over here in Montreal. The Dana Centre is “sexing up science” apparently, and it sounds sweet, reminds me of the SAT here, actually, in some ways…
