GreenBristol is running two spectacular events in the next few days:
Ten movers, clad in striking green body-suits will perform a drifting dance. This curious happening will spark people’s interest in green mapping.
The first performances are at the Festival of Nature on Saturday 2nd June at 11 am and 2 pm. Last year the event attracted 25,000 people and it will be televised by the BBC.
The second performances are on World Environment Day - Tuesday June 5th. These will take place at 12.30 and 1.30 pm in the plaza at Temple Quay. In addition pupils from Hannah More Environmental School will be chalking positive messages for change.
Arnolfini, Watershed and the Cube Cinema connect for digital project
Posted by Sam in : Digital Challenge , add a commentBristol Wireless is involved in a project called XtreamLab along with Psand, Micro-Film and the Venn Festival.
There will be Live streams across the city of Bristol using the infrastructure of Bristol Wireless to send live high-quality video from the Arnolfini to the Cube (Friday 1st and Sunday 3rd) and from the Cube to the Croft (Saturday 2nd).
We have a nice new web site with information about it:
http://www.xtreamlab.net/live.html
This is all made possible with BW’s network and a temporary wireless link between the Arnolfini and Watershed.
Here’s a Google Map of what’s going on for reference:

Change Your World
Posted by Clare in : Bristol, Environment , add a commentEver wonder how life would be if we travelled in ways that benefited our health and our environment? We’d have safer roads, cleaner air and a better quality of life.
Bristol based Sustrans is asking the UK to change the world, and it’s easier to do than you think:
Change Your World is asking you to swap just one car trip from 1-7 July and choose something that’s better for the planet instead.
And guess what? If we all give up one car journey that week we’ll reduce car traffic by 10%. See the Change Your World website for more details.
