The Fourth International Conference on Transdisciplinary Imaging at the Intersections of Art, Science and Culture 2016 – THE ATEMPORAL IMAGE.

The 6th edition of the BunB17, mapping the coordinates of our Sense of Place – the horizontal landscape to the vertical transcalar spaces of the macro/micro.

i-DAT hosted the ‘Overview’, a 50^th Anniversary Celebration of Leonardo at the Balance Unbalance 2017 conference https://www.leonardo.info/50th-anniversary.

The Scale Electric workshop coupled the power of the Atomic Force Microscope to touch the infinitesimally small with the potential of the Full Dome environment to immerse participants in visualisations of the incomprehensibly big. 19-20/07/2010.

https://www.mike-phillips.net/scale-electric-19-20072010/

The Plymouth E/M/D/L workshops worked with local artist/researchers, on the development of a range of technologies to support the fulldome research agenda: generative audio audio compositions, dynamic data feeds, swarm behaviours, mobile app feeds, wearables, iBeacon proximity sensing and camera/kinect tracking; scaling and recursive spatial experiments.

The Skunk-Works day-long prototyping workshops will focus on three themes related to the UK Industrial Strategy and offers an opportunity for participants to rehearse ideas and prototypes for the Impact Lab and South West Creative Technology Fellowships (SWCTN). Skunk-Works / TIOD / Automatik / DATA TA-DA!
