Theme: In this age of digital recording, where does knowledge reside, and how do people access it?

Dr Lizbeth Goodman - Director of Smartlab will describe the activities of the digital lab, the game lab & Peoplelab.

We will have a tour of the facilities at Smartlab, we'll cover all the technology, and if there will be time to give people access. Smartlab is one of two digital labs (the other is the games lab). Partnered with MIT Media Lab, and delivering leading edge creative research into applications for digital technology Smartlab is one of the few organisations to remain viable in spite of cuts in government investment.

The international PhD students will also be joining us to add their thought provoking ideas on the impact of 'smell in technology', the revolution of free broadband, the applications of digital knitting machines, the development of community & story telling and a whole host of opportunities for further exchanges and collaboration.

After the talk and the tour, we will then go on to discuss the theme in the usual cafe style format.

Video: Knowledge Cafe at the Smartlab

This is a pretty comprehensive video taken at one of my Gurteen Knowledge Cafes at the SMARTLab at the University of East London on the 4th October 2006.

I don't suggest you watch it all but listen to the beginning and then fast browse forward through it to capture the essence and the energy of the cafe. I think as you can see it was a fun evening with lots of lively conversation and is typical of one of my knowledge cafes.
