In this Lunchtime Talk Jacqueline Ristola examines what tech and media giants envision as the next form of digital media distribution and the internet itself: the metaverse.
The concept of the metaverse is a virtual space with animated avatars, with continuous live connection and interactivity. Ristola's talk will approach the potential opportunity and the pitfalls of the metaverse, beginning with an overview of the major tech and media players in the metaverse space, before examining some problems that arise in this space.
Open Studio Fridays
From 10:00 - 17:00 you can stay at the Studio for Open Studio Fridays - join us to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. The Studio provides chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Tell us what you’re up to, or allow us to facilitate conversations within the resident community. Studio staff and residents will be around to chat, answer questions, or tell you more about what we do. The open afternoons close at 17:00, sometimes with a trip to the Café & Bar.
Where to find us
The Lunchtime Talks take place in the Pervasive Media Studio, which is in the Watershed building. The Studio is just beyond the Café & Bar, turn right and then go down the corridor to your left (where the toilets are). The double doors here will be open, go all the way down until you reach the Studio. A member of staff will sign you in, and check your ticket, if you have booked.
