TEDxLeeds - Stuart Childs - 60 Seconds August 22, 2011

Favorite:

Stuart Childs co-directs The Jam Jar Collective using computers and electronics to make installations and run workshops for adults and children. With a background in designing sound and lighting for theatre shows he now shows people how to pick up a soldering iron and start making things.

Stuart will be speaking about his 60 seconds project and how he thinks geo-tagged sound recording is changing how we archive, consume and share audio content.

A regular at the UK's Maker Faire and countless other tech events, current projects include designing a temperature reactive lighting control system for a new NHS building in Hull and working as a visual artist as part of a 4 year long EU-wide theatre project: Platform 11 plus.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
