Design at Nottingham – you really should have a look

I was wandering back from Chemistry earlier (where I was talking to Sam Tang about some very interesting video material we have – watch this space…) and my route to the office took me past the Engineering and Learning Sciences Centre. I was confronted by these… I was intrigued, so ventured in. Turns out it’s …

I have a slight throbbing in the temples to be honest. There were so many interesting projects on show, and so many enthusiastic people to talk to, that I could …

In the zone?

Interesting piece of research that crosses the murky borders of definition into art here.
