Pat Kane will be delivering his talk ‘Radical Animal’

2pm  Egg space at Salford University

Hue and Cry co-founder, turned theorist and activist, Pat Kane explores out ability as humans to play, imagine and innovate and ways in which ‘green’ politics and swift technological progression affect our ability to do this. This talk builds on Kane’s previous work that explores the relevance of a ‘play ethic’ over a ‘work ethic’ in contemporary society.

“The Other Forecast”

4pm Egg Space at Salford University

A new project by artists John O’Shea (Manchester) and Ellie Harrison (Glasgow), The Other Forecast has been made in response to MediaCityUK, home to the new BBC and ITV studios. O’Shea and Harrison invite a range of digital artists, performers, and academics at the peak of their careers including Richard DeDomenici , Shona MacNaughton , Kim Nobleand Yuri Pattison  – to create their own take on the familiar ‘weather forecast’. In front of a green screen, each will explore the interconnectedness of a variety of local and global systems – not just meteorological, but social, political or financial – presenting a different “worldview”.
