The Ambient Frame. May 23rd & 24th. Arnolfini. Bristol. UK We think it’s time to talk about the whole field of creative technology and publishing. Register for more information and to be the first to hear about tickets: research.ambientlit.com/index.php/2024…


One of the first things I'm asked when I put a piece of work out is 'what is it then?' So I wrote a (short) book to answer that. If you'd like a digital copy, it's free. iBooks only, as Kindle doesn't permit fixed-layout eBooks anymore.. books.apple.com/gb/book/ambien…

We’re delighted to announce the £6m Immersive Arts consortium, to support UK artists and organisations working in immersive technology. This new scheme will give artists the opportunity to access training, mentoring, specialist facilities and vital funds ukri.org/news/new-fundi…

International students are not migrants. They aren’t planning on settling in the U.K., the vast majority return home after their studies. They also contribute nearly £42 billion per annum to the U.K. economy. Take them out of the migration statistics, they don’t belong there.


Have five here. DMs open.

I'm all out of codes now, but I promise I'll post some more when I get them...



Anyone at @CFPRresearch have a lead…?

Looking for an expert in Renaissance printing presses who might answer some questions for @nordicnovellas and me. Also looking for an expert in architecture who knows German and English for the same :)



Just here to remark that I have three invite codes for the sunlit uplands. If one were inclined to go…(DMs open)
