White Cube Hoxton Square is pleased to present ‘You Dig the Tunnel, I’ll Hide the Soil’, curated by the artist and writer Harland Miller in collaboration with Irene Bradbury. In anticipation of the bicentenary of Edgar Allan Poe’s birth (1809), the exhibition explores the enduring legacy and cult status of the American writer.
Have a tour round Google’s newly opened offices in Zurich. Involves slides, fire poles and a rule that you are never allowed to be more than a 100m from food (personal favourite). I Kid You Not.
The Pervasive Media Studio is a top notch research lab based here in Bristol. It brings a diverse range of talents and companies (HP & BBC etc) together to research, explore and play with the technology, theory and social effects of Pervasive Media.
Its also fast becoming a social hub where like minded explorers, technologists and creatives can come together and collaborate on different projects and discuss cutting edge issues and theories.
Which is where we come in. Beef love research, and play. We think its vital, its what keeps us buff and toned.
So Beef are chuffed as heck be involved with both The Pervasive Media Studio and iShed, and are double chuffed to have been asked to work with them.

A friend of Beef made me aware of this interesting piece of kit recently and, if you over look some of the real world difficulties in implementing such a system, it’s really rather unique.
Semapedia.org aims to “connect the virtual and physical world by bringing the right information from the internet to the relevant place in physical space.”
The clever people at Semapedia ask us ordinary folk to print Wiki specific barcodes (that can be created using a simple online form) and literally stick them to their real world counterparts. When you see one, snap it with your standard camera phone and, Bob’s your uncle, the relavent Wiki content is sitting in your hand. (Please note, Bob may not actually be your uncle, he’s certainly not mine. Mine happen to be called Uncle Mike and Uncle Roland.)
Go forth and tag!
