The Craft Council have just released a great overview film of Make:Shift - it really makes it look informative, dynamic and exciting - as it was - if you blink you will miss me at 1:15 (cause it's all about me!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RUvexSqo3o&index=1&list=PL3dHwye4ClRJ06I43_hMqzTyjQB9oPKa1meanwhile congratulations to the lovely Celia Pym http://celiapym.com/ for her deserved nomination for the Loewe Craft Prize.

Hacksaw Ridge http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2119532/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 saw Mel attempt what Spielberg did in Private Ryan with the American experience in Japan - yes we get it war is hell and pointless (with rats) but. Live by Night http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2361317/?ref_=rvi_tt the KKK defeated, bootlegging, gangs, prohibition, great hats, Gleeson, Aflleck what's not to like? but.....why, what  and that ending? Denial http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4645330/ Spall is awesome and Wilkinson riveting - the film does a lot of explaining but then it is a court case.

at the moment my work/life is all about the residency within NanoDTC at The Maxwell Centre in Cambridge https://unfoldingthinking.blogspot.co.uk/ but I am speaking at Make:Shift in Manchester on Friday so initially I planned and indeed tried to cram 30 years of experience into 10 minutes. This was of course an insane idea so am now, after much reflection, going to talk about how ideas inform process which in turn becomes a methodology for research. I'm going to lean heavily on the past two projects - The Robotics at Kings and Nano in Cambridge as well as bookness!! meanwhile some images from unfolding thinking
