This lunchtime event launched the findings of northern bloc`s second phase; presented the aims and objectives of northern bloc ‘s proposed third phase and included short presentations from three creative technology practitioners based in the northern bloc region.

Outline:

northern bloc was initially established in 2005 in collaboration with the Arts Council of Wales and Conwy County Borough Council, later extending in its second phase to the counties of Anglesey and Gwynedd. The project’s overall aim has been to promote creative work using computer technology by identifying and bringing together individuals and clusters working with new technology in North West Wales.

In line with northern bloc`s objective to increase the profile of creative technology practitioners and the sector in general, the event also includes three short presentations from practitioners based in the region.
