The evening will start at 6pm with a screening and then at 7pm David Chatting of the Curiosity Collective and Julia Devonshire of the Pacitti Company introduce:

Ed Perkins, who has created a live composition system for instruments and electronics based on a real time social, economic and political model.
Mark Langford aka Kiteman, who has recently returned from a trip the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Nat Bocking, who found a lost family album lying in the street in Venice California in around 1992. He will tell us how he traced the people and tells their stories.
