Digihub - art & artists with tech in mind

After doing Art and Chat mostly on Wednesdays, and mostly at night, we thought that perhaps it will be an idea to try something different. Some people had a problem with the day of the week, others with the times - specially now that we link from Brasilia - and its always hard to please everyone..
So it seemed like an idea to change a bit. Lets find out how it goes on a different day of the week, a different time of the day, and take it from there.. At the most, we think, it could give a chance for people who couldn't come all these Wednesdays, to come take part - and chat..

Due to weather based circumsances far beyond and above our feeble control, Art and Chat goes virtual this month!!!

We will be arting and chatting via GoogleHangouts from 18.30 on Wedesday 27th of March.

To join us, follow:

Cheers, Suzzanna For telling Nina about Art & Chat!

Took longer than hoped and expected to upload stuff into archive.org - perhaps we want to do something about this.. It is both slow and time/attention consuming because it fails on large files and doesn't do consecutive file uploads without failing..

Many thanks for everyone that came yesterday to art and chat!

The January 2013 art and chat will be the 1st where Phil will join us from Brasilia. So we will be using, to begin with, google's hangouts to do the real-time video and audio streaming. The choice for that was because its easier to do the video streaming among multiple participants on hangouts than skype.. Kind of no multiple video streams on skype really.. Only multiple audio connections.. We'll see, as this, in effect, is the beginning of the process researching ways to do real time communication by and for artists..

We have just managed to settle on Art and Chat monthly session at the Caroline of Brunswick pub at least until April 2013.
So the last Wednesdays of January, March and April are reserved for art & chat.
