Hail slabovia

Have just got back from Glasgow where I've been working with Tern TV on their Channel 4 project slabovia.tv.

It's only at soft launch at this stage but there are some crazy plans afoot for it. If you like jokes about pigs, this is the place for you.

Interview with/for Gavin Stewart

Recently completed an email conversation with Gavin as part of his work at the Research Institute for Media, Art and Design. Here's an extract:

For writers and artists generally - or anyone involved in cultural content - the big issue seems to me to be the ever-increasing divide that the web has brought so much into focus between monolithic professional producers of nationally or internationally branded content and small-scale local amateur DIY makers of content-making platforms, tool and services. These two groups of people offer very different and partially conflicting views of what the web is for, who’s in charge of it and what kind of content should be distributed on it.

Really?! Did I say that?. Hmmm. You find the rest of the interview here.
