One for your diaries – I’m giving a talk at the Midlands Arts Centre, or MAC, on Thursday 27th May as part of a public debate chaired by the mighty mighty Jon Hickman.
The subject is Social Media and Globalisation, more specifically “examin[ing] lifestyle changes implied by new technological tools such as the personal computer, ipod and mobile phone, as well as looking at changes in behaviour resulting from the use of them.”
Now I have no idea what that means or how it connects to social media and globalisation and thus no idea what I’m going to talk about but I’ve got a few months to prepare so it should be okay.
This may seem like a stupid (and somewhat off-the-point) question, but does that mean that the MAC will be open again by some point before the 27th of May?
I was a-wondering precisely when it’d be up and running once more.
Yes, this is part of their opening program. And yes, it was a particularly stupid question. ;)
Well, you could have been talking in a tent or on a building site or something thereabouts. We all know you’re not proud. It’s the basis of your appeal.
Do the specifics of siad opening programme happen to be knocking around on these internets anywhere? I cannot find them myself.
It would appear not, though I suspect you’ve looked harder than me.
You can see more info at http://www.macarts.co.uk/page/3650/Social+Media+and+Globalisation/30 – although they need to make their site work in Firefox / Mac – and their book online feature doesn’t work either…
Thanks James.
(I really hope they sort their website out soon. So much good stuff, such a shonky online presence…)
