Bodysurf Scotland in partnership with videodance.org.uk presents:  
Opensource:{video-dance} 2007

Bulletin Three

We would like to invite you to our second symposium at the Universal  
Hall Arts Centre, Findhorn Foundation Community, Scotland from 20th –  
24th November 2007. Opensource: {Videodance} 2007 is an open  
symposium for artists, academics, curators and producers coming  
together, to share ideas and work.

Who should come?

We have been asked who is the symposium for? If you make work  
involving dance on screen, or are thinking about this for the future,  
if you write about such work or programme, fund or curate work then  
this is for you. Some really interesting and key individuals from the  
sector are coming to Findhorn and the symposium allows plenty of time  
for people to meet, talk and get to know each other. You may never  
get another chance like this!

OSVD 2006 feedback

“A massive, deeply felt thank you; to everyone who was there, but  
here especially to Katrina, Simon and Karl for sticking their necks  
out, in several ways.”

“the value of this event to me and my work is immense, and I hope  
that I will be able to give as much as possible of everything I  
gained back.”

“fab! Being fed so well was a real bonus, underpinning the conference  
with a large organisation that supported what we were doing.”

“Fantastic - very well cared for - A big thank you for concocting  
such an occasion. The 3 of you glided in and out of your varying  
roles with grace and ease.  I feel very lucky to have been part of it  
and am curious to see things unfold.”

“very very good. Still dreaming of the food!”

“Hope you are all pleased with what you created - I think you have a  
huge achievement to be proud of.”

“This created new, positive experiences that will stay with me. The  
wider location was stunning for me. The bay, village, pub, sea, sand  
dunes, wildlife etc. I could come for longer & enjoy the event at  
leisure. Thank you again, you did a wonderful thing. “

“The event has been an extraordinary personal and professional  
journey for me. Thank you to all who made the effort to be here and  
do such valuable work. It's a privilege to have been part of making  
it happen.”

Knowledge Mapping

Prof. Tom Inns' research at the University of Dundee, explores the  
role design has to play in making better sense of how ideas are  
formed and realised. One  tool he has developed is a process called  
Knowledge Mapping. This can help to visualise what can otherwise be  
hidden processes by acting as a facilitator of thought. Tom describes  
Knowledge Mapping pinning open your brain like a dissection to allow  
others to see what’s going on. So this is what we plan to do one  
morning.

Please let us know if you would like to join us at Findhorn in  
November 2007. We look forward to hearing from you. With kind  
regards, Karl Jay-Lewin, Katrina McPherson and Simon Fildes
