Hi Everyone,

 

If anyone will be in or around Manchester on the evenings of the 24th and 25th April we have a great event going on covering issues around of health, smart technology, and data sharing. See below for more details!

 

The Nest

 

The Nest is a bespoke drama production originally written and performed in the 2015 Manchester Science Festival.  On 24th and 25th April 2017 The Nest returns to Manchester at the fantastic new arts venue, 53Two, located within the railways arches just a few minutes from Deansgate Tram stop.  

 

The Nest focuses on the relationship between a father and daughter, Sean and Sara and is set in a world where Sean’s wifi-enabled smart home system takes care of all his needs, but also monitors his behaviour and health. The play follows Sean and Sara’s changing attitudes towards The Nest covering issues such as sharing information on social media, attitudes towards sharing health data for different purposes and  targeted advertising. The aim of the play is to highlight the range of attitudes that we have towards data sharing and looking at how and why they can differ and at times conflict and the consequences this can have. 

 

There will be an interactive after-show discussion about the themes raised in the play, allowing audience members to ask questions, discuss or just hear the views of others in the room. This session will be chaired by Tom Cheesewright one of the UK's leading commentators on 'technology and tomorrow' and a regular guest on the TV and radio including the BBC and Channel 4.

 

Tickets are £5.50 per person and can be bought online at http://www.wegottickets.com/evenue/18138, at the venue on the day, or through our Facebook Page -The Nest 2017
