Brighton Digital Festival: Messy Edges Conference
Organized by festival director Lawrence Hill, Messy Edges, the Brighton Digital Festival’s annual conference, was a vibrant, hugely insightful and innovative day-long event which included a host of brilliant speakers, from Bill Thompson, to Catherine Allen, to Akeelah Bertram and Kuchena, Carmen Weisskopf of Mediengruppe Bitnik, Rhiannon Armstrong, Maya Indira Ganesh, Tonya Nelson and Dr. Nishant Shah.

Through a series of artworks – from a sonic waterfall, sculptures, recipes, film and video, to a virtual reality (VR) experience – visitors will explore how we imagine the future and what it could mean to live in zero carbon futures that foster equality and wellbeing.
