Patricia Brown & Kasper de Graaf This talk will focus on the capital's nascent wayfinding system\, looking at the strategic rationale for a unified tool to support walking in the capital and an update on the development of the system so far. Read more about the Legible London project . Talk 2 The future of wayfinding Cennydd Bowles We've got pretty good at helping people find their way through today's digital world. Information architecture\, taking cues from physical architecture\, has built a toolkit of wayfinding aids including menus\, breadcrumbs\, signage. But things are about to get a lot more interesting. The boundaries between the abstract digital world and the real physical world are becoming blurred. GPS has made the A-Z map redundant. RFID chips will soon enable a world of "spimes"\, where our environment can tell us all about itself and how we should interact with it. Geolocation offers an immersive augmented reality where data combines with space in revolutionary ways. Our landmarks are now both physical and digital. One day\, a church spire\; the next\, a WiFi cloud. Our old wayfinding methods will soon be as outdated as the sextant. Even now\, people are beginning to use new technology to annotate and enrich their surroundings. Location-driven technology is most powerful in the hands of local users\, and it is our responsibility as designers to ensure that these systems are accessible\, collaborative and safe. Given this quantum leap\, we need new approaches to wayfinding\, information scent and navigation. This session will explore how we can we use information architecture to shape the chaos. How can we design systems for both the digital and physical world that allow users to orientate themselves\, understand the choices available\, and feel at home? Participants will take away a new understanding of the exciting challenges ahead of us\, including the role of mobile devices\, the ubiquitous information age\, and the privacy implications of our new location-critical lives. How do I get a ticket? Registration will be open from 11am on Wednesday 4th November via Eventbrite and thanks to Madgex will be absolutely free.

He spent most of his 20s setting up Solar Records and promoting his band Stargirl (later Laine). Investing over £50\,000 of their own money\, they released their own CDs\, made it onto the radio and TV\, played in front of 30\,000 people\, recorded at George Martin’s Air Studios and had full page spreads in the nationals." "They were at the forefront internet music boom of the late 90s. The future was looking rosy for this group of dynamic 20-somethings. So come and find out what it was like\, how the hell they got the £50K\, and why their plans didn’t quite reach fruition…" Beer – several of us who are doing well this year will put up some bar-money (Alan of SensibleDevelopment (http://www.sensibledevelopment.com/) and Ian's ProCasts (http://procasts.co.uk/) so far\, several more to come\, get in contact if you want to share the love). We may also get mulled wine if we're lucky. Food – maybe nibbles. Hopefully either cake or cookies too.

The ride usually goes along the beach from the west wall of Brighton Marina to the King Alfred Centre and beyond (or vice versa)\, or as far as you and your bike can make it. Time and tide wait for no-one\, so if you can't make it to the start\, join the ride en route. The ride sets off 30 minutes after meeting\, so as to catch the lowest tide and the sunrise. If starting from the Marina\, the ride will probably pass under Brighton Pier another 30 minutes after that\, if you'd like to meet there. Following August 2007's Low Tide Naked Critical Mash-Up bike ride\, the event is clothing-optional\, and riders often go for a skinny-dip in the sea at the end of the ride. For evening rides\, participants can adjourn for drinks afterwards at The Neptune pub. Bring bikes\, waterproofs\, warm clothes\, towels and lights. Remember to thoroughly wash the salt and sand off your bike afterwards. If you're worried about using your own bike\, pick a scrap one up from a skip.
