The Journey of an Image at TEDx University of Bristol, 4th June
TEDx is showcasing a line up of inspirational and industry-leading thinkers at the University of Bristol on Saturday 4th June. TEDxUniversityofBristol will see Pulsar's VP of Product, Francesco D'Orazio (@abc3d) shine light on how one image changed the debate on the refugee crisis.
TED is a nonprofit organisation aimed at sharing innovative and inspiring ideas, which invites world leading thinkers to present for 18 minutes or less. TEDx (x = independently organised event) is essentially a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
The University of Bristol arm of TEDx is split into four 1.45 hour long sessions. Each part will consist of three speakers and one screening from the TEDx team. With the talks running from 9am to approximately 6pm, Francesco will present his thoughts and findings on how content spreads, using the 'Journey of an Image' study as a use case, in the fourth act. The line up for the last act is as follows:
4:15pm - 6.00pm:
- Karoline Wiesner & James Ladyman - What is a complex system?
- Andy Levy - Does the first time you do it have to be the first time you do it?
- Francesco D'Orazio - Journey of an image: big data, social media and how ideas spread
Unfortunately (and unsurprisingly), the event has completely sold out. If you missed out on tickets and are in Bristol on Saturday, you can watch the free live screening of the talks, as they unfold to the public, in Balloon Bar (BS8 1LN).
