New Details
We have been fortunate in securing speakers who cover a wide range:
* from major corporations to micro-businesses
* from highly commercial to public sector
* Creative Directors, Senior Designers, MDs and independent artists
* several interactive media industry sectors
From 10:30: Internal speakers
The day will begin with two presentations of recent student/research projects at the Centre which, while playfully experimental, have led to publication at prestigious academic conferences. Both stretch the boundaries of interaction design.
One -- Smell Me -- constructs a game around computer-generated odours. The other -- 'Ere be Dragons -- is a highly innovative pervasive game played on mobile devices which respond both to location and to the player's heart beat. This is an opportunity to catch up with recent advances in the design of interactive media.
From 12:00: External speakers
We expect presentations from individuals at Motorola, Sky, Culture Online, MRM Worldwide, Milo Creative, Kibook, On101, Illumina Digital, as well as by Alex Mayhew, digital artist and researcher.
[Please note that modifications to the speaker programme may occur.]

What the Symposium is about
The Lansdown Centre offers a free one-day research symposium addressing the question of how creative, arts-based education prepares graduates for their subsequent lives as designers of interactive media. Through this event, we aim to publicly reflect on our own work. The symposium participants are all graduates of the Centre's long-established course, MA/MSc Design for Interactive Media. Now working mainly but not exclusively in industry, they will review the education they received in the light of their experience.
The symposium and associated exhibition explore the range and variety of interactive media from commercial projects to experimental work. By having the symposium coincide with the graduation exhibition of our current Mastersı students, we aim to bring together the goal-oriented world of work with the open-ended innovative culture of an Arts-based education. How well does such a programme prepare its students for their future lives?

This symposium will be of value to industry practitioners, educators, and anyone interested in the future of media.
