A big thanks to all those who came along to the Minivation Lab in Plymouth last night. It was a great turn out and chance for us to meet some new, interesting people, as well as catch up with some familiar faces.
The session was facilitated by the brilliant Seth Honor, who did a fantastic job of teasing out all the possible ideas in the room (aided by a hooter).

Bringing together leading technology, artistic and media talent, Media Sandbox is a commissioning scheme to support South West companies/organisations to research emerging possibilities in digital media.
In 2010, awards will be made to six research projects exploring innovative Pervasive Experiences - ground-breaking ideas that dovetail mobile, wireless and sensory technologies with content and context, to create meaningful experiences.
Thanks to the many people who joined us at the Digital Lounge yesterday. It was an excellent chance to catch up with friends, meet some great new people and hear about really interesting projects happening in the South West.
Thanks also to the Creative Industries KTN and Bristol Media, who helped the event go off with a bang.
Media Sandbox 2010 will open for applications later in the year. Please keep an eye on this website and sign up to our mailing list for the latest news.
We've got an exciting line up for the Digital Lounge on Monday with a short talk from Wired's David Rowan, followed by AntiVJ, Mobile Pie, youarehere and Simon, sharing news about their latest projects.
Digital Lounge: The Future of Digital Content
7 December 2009 | 18:00hrs | Watershed, Bristol | Free, booking required
Digital Content will change more in the next seven years than the last 20. Are you ready?
What's going to happen to TV & Film? Could you spot the next Spotify, iplayer or wii? What will become of news? Are you ready to get the most out of next generation networks? How do we unlock the power of social media?
With December drawing near, we're busy making plans for the launch of Media Sandbox 2010. Working in collaboration with the Creative Industries Knowledge Transfer Network (CI KTN) and Bristol Media, we're finalising arrangements for the Digital Lounge, an exciting event to be held at Watershed on 7th December, from 6pm.
What’s the future of digital content? How will people experience it? How will it be distributed? And where are the opportunities for small producers within this landscape?
