A combination workshop/competition to see who can build the most creative device using only a single button for user interaction.

The Idea:
A one-button object embodies the most minimal aspect of interactive design. We guide you through 5 weeks of designing and building your one-button device through a series of guided workshops. At the end, the best two devices (as decided by participants and instructors) will be displayed as part of the AND Festival in Manchester.

Can you feed the 2,150 urban residents, that live within 500 metres of SPACE, using the 25 hectares of land that houses them?

“YOU ARE HUNGRY” is a proposal to investigate this question by taking a walk with Mikey Tomkins and his "Edible Map” as your guide.

Walks start from SPACE in Hackney and will last approximately 45mins.

Unleashed Devices is an exhibition of DIY, hacking and open source projects by artists who explore technologies critically and creatively. By reconstructing, remixing and reinventing everyday electronic devices, these take on a new life as they shift our vision of the use of data and purpose of technology. Playing with frontiers, such projects not only challenge our conception of technology but also music, art and design. Here, they reveal the power of DIY modes as tools to stimulate social reflection and participation.

The Digital Design Drop-in programme is an exciting collaboration with contemporary digital artists and designers. Once a month we invite an artist to take over our Digital Studio as a drop-in space and make ‘show and tell’ presentations of their work to the public.

This month's session is with Matthew Applegate/Pixelh8.

Internationally renowned chip tune musician Pixelh8 makes his music from reprogramming vintage computer systems such as the ZX spectrum, Commodore 64 and Game Boy.
