PLAYABLE CITY

MAKING THE CITY PLAYABLE CONFERENCE, 10-11 SEPTEMBER 2014 (BRISTOL, UK)

Featuring Google Creative Lab’s Tom Uglow, architect Usman Haque, artist Luke Jerram and Ogilvy’s Tara Austin, this two-day international conference will explore the theme of the ‘Playable City’, asking what it might mean for citizens, urban planners, tech giants, small companies, artists and designers in imagining and making the cities of the future. On 10 and 11 September, we will be bringing together a brilliant group of thinkers, makers, planners and civil disobedients to look at cities as playable places and ask the question: how do we make and unmake our future cities?

Convened by the Watershed, Festival of Ideas and UWE Bristol's Digital Cultures Research Centre (DCRC), the conference will feature playful interventions, networking, debate and discussion, artist commissions and a cross-disciplinary academic strand.
