Tigerprint

Life Online

A group of Tigerprinters will be attending the late night opening of Life Online tonight at the Media Museum in Bradford.

We've been waiting a long time to see this exhibition which officially opens Friday 30th March.

"In March 2012, we will open the world's first gallery dedicated to exploring the social, technological and cultural impact of the internet. This permanent gallery will trace the history of the internet, uncover how it has changed people's lives and track the latest trends.

The gallery will bring together historically significant content, multimedia displays, and a programme of special exhibitions exploring contemporary trends and issues related to how the internet and the web are changing society.

Life Online will be powered by the ideas, thoughts and opinions of our physical and virtual visitors, ultimately creating an invaluable public archive of society's relationship with the internet and the web in the 21st century".

In addition the Media Museum will be hosting the TEDx Bradford event Friday 30th March 1-6pm and we will be sure to bring you a few snippets from the events in the next few days.

London based Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere’s large scale courtyard installation at Somerset House recreates the joy we feel at the site of blossoming daffodils signalling the end of winter and the beginning of spring. 10,000 ceramic daffodils, placed in a naturalistic setting within The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, remind us of the wonder and accuracy of nature’s clock, against the backdrop of an ever changing environment.

The exhibition is free to all and will be open until 27th April during the hours 10am - 6pm.

World Book Day

My favourite book, Image courtesy of Google

Its World Book Day today so Vic & myself thought we'd share our favoruite (non-kids) books with you. Vic's is the classic "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte and I love the holiday read "The Island" by Victoria Hislop. World Book Day is a great opportunity for people from across the globe to celebrate amazing books, authors & illustrators. The event is a brilliant campaign to get kids reading and will hopefully rekindle adults love of books. I think a good book can spark our imagination, make us laugh out loud or allow us to get lost for a few hours. Have a look at the WBD website for some great ideas & events. We'd love to hear what your favourite book is.
