MMM.tv: Peter Gregson on being a digital cellist

This week I met with cellist Peter Gregson.  Known for his pioneering approach to embedding digital technology into the heart of his creative practice, it proved to be a fascinating conversation with one of the UK’s most exciting talents.

So rich was the conversation that we have split it into two parts.  In Part 1, Peter starts off by talking about his 2009 concert series Words on the Wall which incorporated Twitter in real-time alongside his live performance.

If you can’t wait till the next installment of this interview, you can always follow Peter on Twitter or read his blog

MMM.tv: Dave Moutrey on the Art of With

This is an interview that I held with Dave Moutrey, Director of Cornerhouse - the leading mixed arts venue in Manchester. I was particularly keen to hear more about Cornerhouse’s Art of With programme which was kicked off by the commissioning of Charlie Leadbeater’s paper of the same name. This was followed by further essays and a seminar series.

As well as this thought-leadership – and I highly recommend reviewing the first seminar summary to get a flavour for the ideas – I was particularly intrigued to hear about how they are taking these ideas of openness, self-organising and user-as-producer and incorporating them into their core business.
