COMIXED: ENHANCED
12pm – 2pm, Sat 15th May 2010, Contact Theatre, Manchester

The Manchester Beacon designed Comixed as a way of bringing different people together to explore ideas collaboratively.

The second instalment of Comixed ties in with the PlayEverything day that is part of the FutureEverything Festival. It is being delivered in association with Manchester Science Festival, FutureEverything and Contact Theatre. Whilst essentially taking on the same form as the first Comixed, this time we have two video remix artists who will record the conversations then mash-up the results, to give an unique and interesting interpretations of the issues being discussed. These remix workshops are open to all who fancy learning how to remix and mashup video.

Like last time we will be using and encouraging everyone to use Social Technology allowing the conversation to move outside the room. There is a Comixed Twitter account @comixedmcr from which we’ll be tweeting, this blog, a Flickr feed and of course the video channel to which we’ll be posting the videos and remixes. So feel free to comment and tweet, photograph and video. All we ask is that you tag you’re content with the Comixed hashtag #cmxd.

Manchester Beacon is working with a talented creative team to produce Comixed. The team is Julian from Littlestar TV, photographer David Oates and Richard Ramchurn and Mauro Camel the video remix artists.
