short description

The London psychogeophysics summit proposes an intense week-long, city-wide series of walks, fieldtrips, river drifts, open workshops and discussions exploring the novel interdisciplinary frame of psychogeophysics, colliding psychogeographics with earth science measurements and study (fictions of forensics and geophysical archaeology).

The London psychogeophysics summit is planned for the first week of August and will be composed of a series of open, practical workshops, walks, coding sprints, discussion groups, city-wide interventions, and river trips. A small POD publication and online presence would further disseminate research results.

Publication

The Newspaper Club, Ben Terrett, @newspaperclub, http://www.newspaperclub.co.uk/


The Newspaper Club supports anyone who wants to print anything as a newsprint from 5
copies. Ben Terrett and friends printed 1000 copies of 'Things that our Friends have
Written on the Internet' on newsprint as a first experiment in 2008. When it was
distributed to his friends, the reaction was huge, many of them put photos on Flickr and
when they got funding from Channel 4’s Innovation for the Public (4iP) fund, they
offcially developed 'The Newspaper Club'. The newspaper industry welcomed them as well,
since newspaper printers are traditionally on downtime during the day. Ben says newsprint
is still a brilliant way to present data, and gives an example of printing a blog on
newspaper. Some people find out the content of the blog written a while ago for the first
time after it was printed on newspaper. He says that you do not have to have any
preconceived idea about how a newspaper should be and print anything you want, from
wedding albums to limited editions of artwork.
