MadLab isn’t only for kids... Solder your own Theramin, Dazzler or Bleep-o-Tron, demonstrate your skills or talk informally about your project. Feeling really adventurous? Make your own kinetic sculpture. It all has nothing to do with breaking into computers – one of the magical things about hackerspaces is that they aren’t clearly defined, and explaining them is almost impossible without setting foot in one. So, join the MadLab HackLab team for an event you can shape yourself by creating things and learning new skills. For fans of Make Magazine, this is the event for you.

The Field/work Sunday practical symposium was an extension to the AHRA conference Field/work hosted by The University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh College of Art.

The conference was developed in collaboration with colleagues at The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, and VARIE (Visual Art Research in Edinburgh). The conference examined the question of field/work in its historical, contemporary, disciplinary and inter-disciplinary terms.

This happened is a series of events focusing on the stories behind interaction design. Having ideas is easier than making them happen. Each event delves into projects that exist today, how their concepts and production process can help inform future work.

This Halloween we invite you to join us at Inspace to experience the work of Tale of Tales, a games development studio founded by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn in Belgium in 2002.

With projects such as The Endless Forest and The Path, Tale of Tales create elegant and emotionally rich interactive entertainment not driven by combat, challenge or competition.

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide.

Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

"Maybe it's the new year that's brought on a bit of a dose of melancholy - near-miss airline bombers, 5-year anniversary of tsunami, crazy gunman and so on - but blip is the place I come to feel positive about all the good people in the world, all the great things they do and all the love they share.

The proposal: on an agreed date as many blippers as possible post exactly the same blip - a shot of themselves standing with arms outstretched, 'holding hands' with each of their global next door neighbours."

Informatics and new media practice are ever evolving, changing every day, so we don't plan our core programmes more than twelve months in advance.

Inspace was created as an agile resource for the research, exploration and presentation of digital culture. We welcome and invite collaborative projects that occupy a tighter timeframe than our core programmes. We're interested in taking technology, audiences and our expertise in new and dynamic directions.

This is what we call our 48 hours programme. Talk to us. Let's see what we can do together.
