Join us for this month's technology-themed Nicer Tuesdays!

Date
14 April 2015

This month’s Nicer Tuesdays is on the subject of technology, bringing together four creatives who each approach the subject in their own unique way.

Joining us is Jane Ní Dhulchaointigh, inventor and CEO of Sugru, the play-dough-like putty that turns into a hard rubber to discuss how the technology is helping people transform the use of everyday objects, as well as David Sheldon Hicks, founder and creative director of Territory Studio, the creative agency that helps imagine incredible future landscapes for directors such as Ridley Scott.

Also joining us is Doug Hindson, a Kingston University graduate whose work explores our unhealthy and addictive relationship to technology, including his recent tearjerking animation Disconnect, as well Aaron Johnston and Adam Shephard, head of production and lead communications designer at Technology Will Save Us, a London-based start-up focussed on making creativity with technology accessible to everyone.

As always the drinks will be on us, so come down and have your creative mind expanded! We look forward to seeing you.
