I've only just seen this review of the Doors 8 conference, but it seems to capture the woodstock of all conferences rather nicely. Will 'work' ever be such fun again?
Recovering from Doors
We are back from Doors 8 and its taken us this long to recover. Not so much of a conference as an experience to be savoured. (You can see the conference schedule here and the
speaker listing here.) I thought we made a lot of good friends at Doors 5 but this conference took being social one step further as we were all in the crazy mayhem that is Delhi.
The highlights are too many to mention, but include:
Usman Haque's Skyear - where were we when it was realeased into the atmosphere in Cally Park?
Bus journey - cross country to get to Apeejay Media Gallery. Cameron went pale as we headed off towards a the thoroughly modern space (in contrast to the surrounding streets) containing video art.
Margrit Kennedy - never has the world's economic system seemed so simple
Tony Salvador - Five stories of ethnography from around the world
Used in India - how the use, reuse, recycling, repurposing and repairing of technology and media products in India has a lot to teach us.
Holi party - Wikipedia, Nokia, Nesta and even the British Council get messy
We've returned. We shouild be exhausted but we are refreshed and invigorated.
