Vintage bus design pays tribute to Sussex artist

The Brighton and Hove Bus Company has unveiled its latest “Get Bus(y)” design, promoting the South Downs. The new bus, with its soft pastel colours and vintage interiors, is all about the countryside surrounding the city - the South Downs National Park. Designed and illustrated by Jamie Eke, the bus pays tribute to Sussex artist Eric Ravilious, whose work during the 1920s and 30s included many South Downs landscapes. Ravilious’s engravings and woodcuts, and his use of patterns and blocks of pastel colour, were the inspiration behind the bus’s unique “wallpaper” design. Mr Eke said: “Ravilious’s work is amazing – in many ways it looks so contemporary, so fresh. It really has stood the test of time.” The bus interiors have a vintage 1930s feel and were designed by Mr Eke’s colleague Scott Welti at Harrison Agency, working with Chloe Bullock from Brighton’s Materialise Interiors.

GCSE achievement gap widens further >> Continued from page 1 He writes: “These schools achieved five good GCSEs for 69.3%, 65.3%, and 72.8% of their pupils, respectively - well above the national average. “When, however, you look at the performance of students taught at these same schools in receipt of pupil-premium funding -

additional resources earmarked by government for disadvantaged students - the corresponding figures for five good GCSEs declines dramatically to 50.7%, 34.6%, and 45.2%, respectively. “Not only are these results well below the national benchmark for all pupils taking GCSEs, what should be of concern to the whole community is the wide variation

between these schools. “Why are examination outcomes achieved specifically for pupilpremium learners so low and so varied?” Comparable data for last year suggests that the “achievement gap” has widened at six of the nine schools, most noticeably at Varndean School and at Cardinal Newman (which has the smallest proportion - 15% - of “pupil premium” students). Cllr Bewick has instructed council officers to prepare a report for his committee as well as the council’s new Fairness Commission, which is tasked to address inequality in the city. In his article, he asks: “Is this the flip side of a state education system that appears to be doing increasingly well - able to stretch those achieving top academic grades - whereas, for disadvantaged pupils, it appears that they are falling still further behind?” Let’s make sure every young person achieves success, see page 4

Radio // Future Sounds launches at Brighton Digital Festival 2015

Brighton’s totallyradio and Fugu PR announced the newly created Radio // Future Sounds event to launch at Brighton Digital Festival 2015. Aimed at radio enthusiasts, broadcast students and the digital community, the event takes place on September 24 at Patterns on Brighton Beach with a minimal registration fee of £5. Radio // Future Sounds features a day of conversation, music, and live broadcast, exploring the rapidly changing landscape of radio and its potential as a core channel to communicate stories and narratives. A host of digital innovators and radio creators will investigate and celebrate radio’s role in our cultural future throughout the day. Nats Spada, digital and radio producer at totallyradio.com and event curator said: “There is so much exciting radio going on beyond the mainstream and we wanted to not only celebrate this, but also highlight the

people making it happen. There will always be a need for trusted guides, curators and storytellers – the launch of Apple’s Beats 1 recognises this and shows that radio is very much here to stay”. Vicki Hughes, managing director at Fugu PR added: “With so many media and digital channels to select, our industry often misses the opportunities that radio offers. This event will provide an inspiring forum and offer the chance to shine a light on the potential of radio.” Radio // Future Sounds takes place at Patterns on September 24, 10am-6pm.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Aaron Smith feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just

about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Brighton, Hove & the surrounding areas

and Aaron is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and

family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Aaron a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

The moment the sun went out over Shoreham Bex Bastable @BexBastable

The sun was shining brightly as people made their way to the annual Shoreham Airshow, but it would turn out to be the darkest of days in Sussex. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion. But Shoreham Airshow, the town’s most popular event, had barely begun when disaster struck. Thousands of people had arrived to watch the air displays for a fun family day out. No-one was expecting the horror which unfolded that afternoon. It was 1.20pm, when a vintage Hawker Hunter aircraft performing a loop-the-loop, suddenly lost height and came down near to the north end of the airfield. The aircraft hit several cars on the busy A27 road, before crashing into bushes. Onlookers from the airshow gasped as they watched the plane burst into flames, but many did not realise the extent of what had just happened. The atmosphere at the airshow was one of shock and confusion. There was little in the way of information. The organisers announced flying was suspended until further notice. At the scene on the A27, 10 fire engines and numerous helicopters were deployed, with paramedics and police joining them to deal with what was fast becoming an extremely serious incident.

At this point, we don’t know how or if we will cope with this” Sussex Police released an official statement just after 2pm, confirming the A27 was closed, after an aircraft hit several cars. Several casualties were reported but no further information was given. Images and videos of the disaster started to appear on social media, and the severity of the situation soon became clear. Eye-witnesses were tweeting what they had seen. The feeling from the local and online community was shock and devastation.

I should like to pay tribute to everyone who has been affected by this horrific and tragic incident. Not least, the local community who have responded magnificently” The local and national press began rolling coverage, and it soon emerged at least seven people had died in the crash. Later that afternoon, police confirmed the death toll of at least seven, and reported a further 14 walking wounded alongside another patient suffering lifethreatening injuries. The latter turned out to be the pilot, Andrew Hill, who was pulled from the wreckage of the 1950s aircraft. A major incident was declared. At the airshow, it was 5pm before visitors are able to leave on foot. Those who arrived by car were unable to leave the site. An hour later, organisers announced Sunday’s flying was cancelled following the tragic events. On Sunday morning, the crash dominated the newspapers, and recovery work began on the A27. Names began to emerge of those who were thought to have died in the crash. The family of Matt Jones, 24, of Littlehampton, feared he had been caught up in the disaster. Two Worthing United footballers, Matt Grimstone and Jacob Schilt, both aged 23 and from Brighton, did not turn up for Saturday’s match against Loxwood. They were also feared dead by their families and loved ones. Tributes appeared on social media from those who knew the men, and from those who did not. The community grieved. Worthing United paid an emotional tribute to the pair, and said: “At this point, we don’t know how or if we will cope with this.” Local football clubs sent their condolences, including the Brighton and Hove Albion, where Mr Grimstone worked, and Mr Schilt was a supporter. Albion manager Chris Hughton said: “We are all shocked and deeply saddened by this news. Matt has been part of a great team we have at the club, and our thoughts go out to his and Jacob’s families at this devastating time.” The family of Matt Jones paid tribute to him - and said he was an “amazing person”. On Sunday, a special service was held at Shoreham’s town

church, St Mary de Haura, for people to pay their respects to those who had lost their lives. Father Paul Rampton led prayers and spoke movingly of the impact the incident had on the town and community. Residents began laying flowers at the Old Toll Bridge at Shoreham, as a sign of respect for those who had lost their lives. There was a sense of quiet reflection and sadness in Shoreham and the surrounding areas. It was on Sunday that police announced the death toll was “at least 11”. It soon emerged a wedding car was involved in the crash, and the chauffeur, who was on his way to pick up a bride in Goring, was likely to have died. He was later named as Maurice Abrahams, 76, from Brighton. His family paid tribute to him, and said he was “a well-respected and loved father and husband”. Monday morning came around. Sussex residents returned to work, but something had changed. Shoreham remained the centre of the national news agenda, and at least four families were mourning the tragic death of their loved ones as a result of the crash. Police announced the A27 was likely to remain closed until at least Saturday, a week after the accident, as investigations continued. Fears were expressed that the death toll could be as high as 20. The aircraft was removed from the scene with a crane on Monday afternoon, and as no other bodies were found, officers said they expected the death toll to remain at 11.

Steve Barry, assistant chief constable at Sussex Police said: “Again I should like to pay tribute to everyone who has been affected by this horrific and tragic incident. ‘‘Not least, the local community who have responded magnificently, from the taxi firm who offered free lifts to the airport to those who needed to recover cars, to Brighton and Hove Albion who have generously allowed those working at the scene use of their splendid new facilities at Lancing. “I appreciate that things will never be the same again in Shoreham, but would like to assure everyone affected by the

incident that all of us working on the operation are determined that we will provide answers to the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones and work as quickly as we can to complete our investigations and reopen the road.” Penelope Schofield, the West Sussex senior coroner, asked for “patience and understanding” as it could take weeks to formally identify all of the victims of the crash. She said it would be “a slow and painstaking operation”. The pilot of the Hunter Hawker Mr Hill remained in a critical condition in hospital. His family spoke out, and said: “Following the tragic events at the Shoreham Airshow on Saturday, the pilot’s family are devastated and deeply saddened for the loss of life, and they send their prayers and heartfelt condolences to the families of all those affected at this difficult time.” The incident continued to dominate the news, and was referred to as “the worst airshow disaster in living memory.” Floral tributes continued to be placed at the Shoreham Toll Bridge, in a show of respect from the wider community, to the

Victims of airshow crash At least 11 people lost their lives in Saturday’s crash. The coroner is in the process of identifying the victims as the Brighton & Hove Independent went to press. Five people who died in the Shoreham Airshow crash have been named by their families.

Matt Jones Aged 24, contractor, from Littlehampton. He had taken half a day off work to go to the beach with friends in the afternoon, but was caught up in Saturday’s collision. His sister, Becky, said he was an “amazing person” who had unconditional love for his two nieces Anya, five, and Fey, three. Parents Hazel and Stephen said the family has been inundated with text messages, emails and phone calls as well as constant deliveries of flowers since the crash.

Matt Grimstone Aged 23, worked for Brighton and Hove Albion, Worthing United goalkeeper, from Brighton. Matt was travelling with Jacob Schilt, to play in a match against Loxwood when they were involved in the collision. A family statement issued by the Grimstone family on Facebook read: “We would like to thank everyone for their kind words and support. “We know he was well loved. We are stunned and still cannot believe he will not walk through the door. We know Matthew would be telling us to “man up”, so we will keep going for him.”

Jacob Schilt victims of the tragedy. On Thursday morning, a fifth victim was named by his family - Mark Reeves, 53, from Seaford. He had motorcycled to Shoreham to photograph the planes at the airshow, before being involved in the collision. His family said: “We will remember him as a gentle, loving, incredibly giving family man, husband to Wendy, father to Luke, granddad to three beautiful grand-daughters, brother to Denise and loving son of Ann and Kenneth.” As the week goes on, no doubt the other victims’ names will be revealed. The community will continue to mourn the loss of each and every person lost in this terrible incident. Investigations are not only taking place to identify victims, but also to find out what happened. There have been questions over whether the airshow can go ahead next year, and over whether vintage aircraft aerobatics are dangerous. These are questions which will eventually be answered. But one thing we do know, is that Saturday, August 22, is a day that Sussex will never forget.

Aged 23, Worthing United player, from Brighton. He was travelling with his friend Matt Grimstone, to play a match against Loxwood when the Hunter Hawker crashed. Jacob, a Brighton and Hove Albion fan, had played three times for Brighton’s Robert Eaton Memorial Fund charity team against Crystal Palace. The charity was formed following the death of a Brighton and Hove Albion fan killed in the 9/11 terror attacks. Tributes to Jacob and Matt flooded in from the football community.

Maurice Abrahams Aged 76, from Brighton, chauffeur The family of former soldier Maurice said he was a well-respected and loved father and husband who enjoyed gardening and his work chauffeuring in his beloved Daimler car. He served in the Grenadier Guards and the Parachute Regiment, and served in Cyprus and Bahrain with the UN. In his thirties he served as a police officer with Hampshire Police. Maurice was travelling to Goring to take bride Rebecca Asekaran to her wedding at Findon Manor when his car was hit.

Mark Reeves Aged 53, from Seaford, CAD technician His family said: “Mark Reeves - motorbiker, golfer, photographer, fund-raiser - but above all else, son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. “Mark, who was 53, died while he was combining two of his favourite hobbies having ridden his cherished Honda motorbike to Shoreham to photograph the planes at the airshow. As many times before he had travelled to an airshow and parked up on the outskirts to grab the best photos, but he had never been to the Shoreham Airshow before. “We will remember him as a gentle, loving, incredibly giving family man, husband to Wendy, father to Luke, granddad to three beautiful grand-daughters, brother to Denise and loving son of Ann and Kenneth.”

Surrenden and Fiveways: Area F The fiercest parking battle zone Following a decision in March by members of Brighton and Hove City Council’s environment, transport and sustainability committee, a consultation about the proposed parking scheme for “Area F” was held. Residents have been given the options of a five-day or seven-day scheme, with enforcement from 9am to 8pm in line with other nearby schemes. Other options for different times and hours could be considered, but would need further committee approval. The proposed scheme also includes Hollingbury Park Avenue and Hollingbury Terrace. All homes, businesses and services in the area were sent details and questionnaires about the proposed scheme, and could complete an online form during the consultation period, which ended on August 14. Brighton & Hove Independent asked the council some key questions about the proposals. Below are the answers. In a statement, a council spokesperson said: “In terms of the consultation, we are still collating the results, but it looks as if there has been about a 50% response rate. This is above average; it is normally about 30% to 40%. Some previous parking scheme consultations have, however, been higher than 50%. “The proposals and consultation results will be put before the city council’s environment, transport and sustainability committee on Tuesday, October 13. Reports for this committee should be online from Monday, October 5. Overall, how many on-street designated parking spaces will there be in the proposed Area F? How many households are there in the proposed Area F?

We do not know exactly how many on-street spaces there will be yet, as this will be worked out during the traffic-order stage - when the detailed design goes out for formal consultation (depending on what councillors decide on October 13). The designs change considerably as a result of the comments during the initial consultation, so any plans are just an indication of possible parking positions at this stage. There are 3,317 households in the consulted area. Do you have the same data (number of parking spaces, number of households) for each of the individual roads in proposed Area F? As above.

Will the amount of parking space be increased or decreased under the current proposals? It is likely to be reduced, due to double yellow lines being placed across driveways, on junctions, and where parking cannot be accommodated on both sides of the road. Will there be parking meters on the grass verges? No parking meters were proposed in the original proposals as payby-phone-only methods were proposed. Due to the comments received during the consultation, however, we are likely to include some pay-and-display machines in sensitive locations. But these are unlikely to be on grass verges.

Parking problems can be severe in roads such as Sandgate Road, near Fiveways

Can you confirm that it will be unlawful for residents to park on cross-overs, even when such parking does not obstruct pavements? If so, what action will be taken to enforce this? We can confirm that if the scheme does get approval, no resident or visitor will be able to park in the “crossover section” they use to access their driveway, as it will be enforced through the proposed double yellow lines. This is public highway and will be enforced if seen or reported by a civil enforcement officer. Will residents with double garages be allowed to expand single cross-overs to doublecrossovers?

Residents wanting to extend crossovers will need to make an application through the council’s network co-ordination team. Will the council take the opportunity to restore, where necessary, proper kerbs on roads to prevent cars mounting grass verges? The council is not proposing to raise existing dropped kerbs as part of the proposals. With regard to parking on grass verges, it is difficult for the council to enforce without a “no verge parking” scheme. Legislation is, however, changing in the near future, which will enable the council to enforce parking of this kind.

Motors World Champions Schwantz, Spencer and Corser head two-wheeled line-up at Goodwood Revival A superb line-up of legendary motorcycle racers, led by former World Champions Kevin Schwantz, Freddie Spencer and Troy Corser, will take part in the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy at the Goodwood Revival on September 11-13. Schwantz, who won legions of fans with his no-holds-barred style on his way to the 500cc world title in 1993, and made his Revival debut last year on the exGeoff Duke Featherbed Norton, will ride a 1961 Manx Norton 500 with Rodney O’Connor. Fellow American Spencer, a two-time 500cc World Champion himself, will also be Nortonmounted, riding a 1962 model with entrant Julian Ide. Australian Corser, whose World Superbike crowns came in 1996 and 2005, is, as usual, BMWmounted, and will have a rare Kaczor R50S at the disposal of himself and co-rider Sebastian Gutsch. Former GP racers Steve Parrish and Jeremy McWilliams are always popular additions to the Revival line-up. Both return

Kevin Schwantz and Jeremy Mcwilliams; a group of 1960s 500s will make up the field at Goodwood Revival

for 2015 with Parrish, Barry Sheene’s close friend and teammate during his 1977 500cc titlewinning season, riding a 1962 Matchless G50 and McWilliams – twice a Barry Sheene Memorial

Trophy winner – on a 1961 Norton. Isle of Man TT winners Mick Grant and Gary Johnson are reunited on the 1964 MV Agusta 500/3 on which they won at Goodwood in 2013, while another

TT winner, Charlie Williams, has a 1962 Norton at his disposal. Two more TT victors, Ian Simpson and Michael Rutter, also return. Rutter will ride a 1962 Manx Norton with Simpson on

a 1966 Hansen Honda CR450. Fellow road-racing favourites Maria Costello and Keith Amor will be attempting to upstage them on, respectively, a BMW RS54 and a Norton.

Brighton Recommends HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD

PAPER VS PIXELS

DIGISKULL

THE LONG PROGRESS BAR

1500 cans of film unopened since the 70s, two suitcases of reel to reel tape, and the manuscripts of journalist Robert Hunter – this promises to be a worthy documentary for the big screen. How does one even begin to tell such an important story spanning over 40 years? I guess we’ll find out at this screening and Q&A with director Jerry Rothwell.

It’s exciting to see Brighton Digital Festival (BDF) coming to the University of Sussex campus this year for Paper vs Pixels, an event where Jaime Huxtable and Alex Fitch will talk about graphic novels as interactive historical apps and transcendent time machines! I’m looking forward to hearing all about what the future holds.

One of my favourite aspects of BDF is the smörgåsbord of unlikely spaces masquerading as venues for the month. WLTM/ake are hijacking one of Brighton’s best kept secrets–the Brighton Booth Museum–for the festival, aiming to jumble art, digital, and macabre natural history via exhibitions, games and hacks. It’s going to be gloriously interesting.

No other record this year explores modern communication better than Holly Herndon’s Platform, and I’m super excited that Lighthouse have invited her to join this festival length edition of The Long Progress Bar. The weekend promises a relaxed but caffeinefuelled series of workshops and performances from a vanguard of international artists and speakers.

Mini Maker Faire Brighton Mini Maker Faire has been a steady fixture of the Digital Festival for the past four years. Now in its fifth, it promises to up the ante once more, as makers, craftspeople, hackers, tinkerers, scientists and artists gather for the one-day festival of creativity and invention. The maker movement has been spreading with increasing speed over the world – Maker Faires springing up in every continent (well, we’re still waiting for Antarctica), numbering over 140 this year. Even the White House hosted their own Maker Faire in 2014, with Obama particularly taken with marshmallow launcher built by 14 year old maker Joey ‘Marshmallow’ Hudy.

Absurd toys and nonsensical contraptions are always a hit, with presidents and kids alike. Last year saw a giant floating spherical Pac-Man game installed in the Brighton Corn Exchange entrance, and this year makers are bringing exploding paint cannons, real-life Battleships, and a laser arcade shooting gallery. A project called Hammer Pong that promises a mash-up between a fairground Test Your Strength sideshow, and the old Pong TV game. We don’t know quite what to expect, but it sounds noisy. Of course, as well as all this messing about, there is lots to learn at Brighton Mini Maker Faire, with dropin workshops on all kinds of craft and technology, from felt to robots, bookmaking to coding. And while it’s certainly inspiring for kids, there are always as many wide-eyed adults checking out the projects or getting stuck in to the workshops. You wonder if they’ll be arguing over who gets to use the soldering iron once they’re back home. The event runs from 10am until 5pm on Saturday 5th Sept, with tickets available online at makerfairebrighton.com. It’s free for under-16s (accompanied by an adult), £9 on the door for adults, with variable prices in advance online.

EDF Energy: Premier Sponsor of Brighton Digital Festival Why is EDF Energy supporting this years festival? We’re really excited to be the premier sponsor for this year’s Brighton Digital Festival. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with the local digital community and get involved in a unique event. We’re looking forward to building our relationship with all of Brighton’s talented digital people and support the varied programme of great events that the festival brings to the city during September.

EDF Energy is best known as an energy provider, what ’s your commitment to digital experiences and innovation? We’re the Feel Better Energy company, always determined to provide the best experience to our customers. In the last few months we’ve launched our new mobile app and an improved e-services platform to help customers to self serve. We love to innovate, as with the photo meter reading feature, an industry first in the world. In the next few months we’ll be concentrating on our Smart Meter program, bringing to the market some great solutions to enhance customers’ understanding of energy and empower them to control how their energy is used, and save money.

What makes a city worth living in? Is it the quality of education, the range of job opportunities, the political climate, the venues for social participation and engagement? Or is a city attractive because of its network; the friends and family, colleagues and collaborators who you can rely on and trust? What makes a person want to remain a part of the future of their city? A friend recently told me that ‘Brighton is an intentional city’–people choose to live here because of the unique environment and lifestyle the region encourages. Because so many bright, passionate people live here, our creative, academic and digital sectors thrive; which encourages growth and inspires more people to see what our city is all about. At the core of it, the culture of the city–our overlapping circles of shared passion, engagement and interests–is what powers our future economy. Brighton Digital Festival has always been about supporting the passion and creativity of the people who live and work in the region–and like the

We’ve just been awarded the Marketing Society’s Grand Prix. The judges rewarded us for challenging the public perception of energy companies and re-launching ourselves as the Feel Better Energy company, with digital at the centre of everything we do. In the community, and building on the success of last year’s Big Bumblebee Discovery, EDF Energy continues to drive innovation through inspiring 100,000 children into science through various schemes.

Which festival events are you most looking forward to? I’m looking forward to the transformation of the city into a celebration of digital experience and innovation. With such a variety of events to choose from I’m very interested in exploring the space between innovation, place and a great customer experience, as well as evercurious on explorations around the promise of the new data economy. and confidence and to present in public. There’s something for everyone this year, with so many exciting and creative events taking place across the city throughout September. It promises to be a great celebration of digital culture.

Previews [DATA]STORM

LUNA

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

A #DataDrivenDance where classical ballet and computing collide. [data]storm follows the journey of a bit of data travelling across the ocean, and uses interpretations of MET Office Storm & Climate Data to create projection-mapped visuals. This project was supported by Art Council England, Thomson Reuters, Google and Intel.

Featuring asynchronous multiplayer gameplay, a physics engine built from scratch, and the most ubiquitous wireless gamepad on the market today (your smartphone), LUNA pays homage to classic space shooter games but with a modern twist. LUNA will be playable in the window of the Graphite office on Kensington Street throughout September.

Why do sci-fi movie interfaces get designed the way they do? And would they actually work in real life? This special screening of 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy will feature a conversation between David Hicks from Territory Studio (the effects team behind Guardians of the Galaxy), and Designer/Author Chris Noessel.

Revealing the people, places and companies your phone is talking to behind your back, The Secret Life of Your Mobile Phone is the brainchild of Channel 4 News’ award-winning technology journalist Geoff White, and Glenn Wilkinson, security researcher for SensePost. You’ll never look at your phone in the same way again.

Puree Design host a battle of quick fire creativity and artistic skill in this live Photoshop/Illustrator showdown. Passing a file between them in 15 minute bursts, creative competitors will both collaborate and compete, working on top of their opponents illustrations to create one collaborative and ever evolving artwork.

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at some of Brighton’s most innovative and creative companies? Wired Sussex have invited creative, digital and IT companies to open their doors and run events throughout the first week of September, resulting in a jam-packed line-up of workshops, drop-ins, demonstrations, talks, parties and games tournaments.

Mad Hatters (2011) by Diann Bauer, a speaker at The Long Progress Bar

Lighthouse presents

In her latest music video, ‘Morning Sun’, US composer and sound artist Holly Herndon is seen on screen with the mantra “May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.” What sounds like the hopeful words of a protester in Egypt, Bahrain or Greece in the twenty-teens, is in fact taken from the 1996 ‘Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace’, by founder of the Electronic Frontiers Foundation, John Perry Barlow.

Taking a playful, timely and critical look at new methods of empowerment, the programme presents talks, workshops, screenings, discussions and live performances by acclaimed international guests, including Holly Herndon, economist Guy Standing, unMonastery member Kei Kreutler, artists Diann Bauer, David Blandy and Metahaven, and electronic musician and ‘positive force’ (Guardian) Jam City, who presents an exclusive performance.

Almost 20 years later, we find that cyberspace has not lived up to this promise entirely, but that visionary creatives, innovators, engineers and activists are building alternative platforms to create culture, connect people, and share solidarity beyond the ‘like’. As Holly Herndon says, “We need new ways to love.”

This is a chance to be inspired by some of the most exciting names in contemporary culture. And who knows, maybe rethink your own direction in life. Or at the least, have a drink with our (g)host reporter, award-winning graphic novelist Warren Ellis if you like.

Building on the success of Improving Reality, The Long Progress Bar is a vibrant, two-day festival of radical new art and ideas created in response to real-world issues, bringing diverse voices to converge in the city for the fifth anniversary of Brighton Digital Festival.

Arts and tech commissions

It’s not always easy to articulate exactly what you’re looking for when commissioning, but some commonalities in what we liked emerged: poetic, human, challenging, witty. I’m very excited by the final six works and can’t wait to experience them–as what each of these works does is to put digital tech to work as a way of creating ‘experiences’. The tech is in the background, as it should be, and the results promise to be interesting, challenging, informative, emotional and human. White Noise Boutique is a pop-up shop dedicated to selling unique white noise in the form of vinyl records and computer files. Visitors will be able to select from a variety of random “seeds” (dice, bingo balls, entropy in a computer’s operating system) and number generators (vacuum tubes, mathematical systems, and high-end cryptographic algorithms). 16 Brighton Square

11-18 Sept / 11am–7pm

Familiars materialises the presence, function and fragilities of the unseen logistical infrastructures, which underpin the modern world. In this piece, data broadcast by freight ships, planes, and trains is mapped into a physical space, creating an immersive installation inviting audiences to experience the vast movement of these logistical systems around them. Lighthouse

7-20 Sept / 11am–5pm

It’s often when waiting, for something or someone, that there is the time to reflect. Throughout September, commuters waiting at Brighton Station will notice a new display as they look up from their free newspapers. Despite appearances, The Waiting Wall will not be displaying the usual advertisements or train departure times; instead anonymous messages from fellow commuters will be shown for all the public to see.

Brighton Digital Festival 2015 08

Reading Between The Lines Of BDF Code

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about Smart Cities, and the roots of Brighton Digital Festival. For many of us, cities aren’t smart: they’re hard to live in, hard to get round, and you need a big bag of gold to afford to put down roots permanently in one. And yet, our city is considered one of the fastest growing and most creative digital clusters in the UK. So why is it so different, this place? Why is it even a digital cluster? It goes back to why places happen anywhere, I think. We build mills on rivers, towns on hills and factories near sources of labour and materials. Development, commerce and culture take root where conditions and commodities fuel growth. I’d say the roots and character of our digital cluster go back decades, if not much longer. Brighton has a long history of social radicalism, from Harry Cowley after the first world war to Sussex University students in the 1970s, and Schnews in the wake of Thatcher. We have the Pavilion, Brighton Rock and a wonderful culture of dissent, diverse sexuality and digital creativity. Twenty years before Wired Sussex opened our Digital Catapult, Britain’s first interactive digital exhibit (‘My Brighton’) was unveiled at Brighton Museum. Pavilion Internet was one of the UK’s first Internet Service Providers and in 1994, Sussex Community Internet Programme was one of the UK’s first socially-centred digital start-ups. Help Us Be Successful (1999) was a pioneering Big Issue Foundation project set up near Brighton station. HUBS was one of the UK’s first places to help people living on the streets get online and be part of digital society. Our Open Data Cities Conference was one of the UK’s first events to make the connection between big data, small data and communities in April 2012. And in autumn 2013, the Brighton FUSE Report was the UK’s first in-depth look at what makes a digital cluster tick. Across the city landscape, if the Brighton FUSE report is correct, our rapidly developing digital and creative industries might be worth a billion pounds a year by 2015. We have two leading universities and for now, the further education economy is stable, turning over at last £500 million per year, and we’ve now got one of three regional Digital Catapults, put in place to kickstart digital innovation and new ideas.

Development, commerce and culture take root where conditions and commodities fuel growth In contrast to the surging creative industries, the publicly-funded culture sector in Brighton is shrinking, with local government and treasury cuts affecting regular funding and project funding. Central government funding for local and city authorities is certain to be cut very significantly over the course of this parliament. The city might be at risk of becoming a two speed economy, the creative industries speeding ahead, the rest of the community marking time at best, at worst, austerity taking hold.

Reading between the lines of the FUSE report, key objectives remained unexplored. Although it talked about it as an objective, the report didn’t uncover links from Brighton creative industries to our arts, culture and academic sectors. Considering the current risks to funding it feels more important than ever that we build bridges between thriving digital industries and inspiring creative communities in the city. As I write this, the annual Young ReWired State Festival of Code is taking place in 70 centres nationally and internationally, with over 1200 young people taking part, along with hundreds of mentors. They’re busy working on opendata projects they’ll present this weekend at a grand final in Birmingham, with kids pitching finished project ideas in front of hundreds of peers. Looking at the centres, few are set in schools, almost none of the activity is related to school computing science schemes of work, and when they get back to school in September many young people will be bored and looking for another major coding challenge, which they won’t get in school. What’s also interesting is that very few of the 70 YRS centres are arts organisations funded by Arts Council England. Last year, I counted three out of fifty centres with arts connections; whilst arts leaders talk about adding Art to STEM, making STEAM, few in the arts are taking this on, and getting involved with coding culture and creativity.

One of the fastest growing and most creative digital clusters in the UK In Brighton, we’ve five years, at least, of arts involvement with digital, coding and making. When Digital Education Brighton was set up back in 2011, there wasn’t much connection between tech and schools, arts, digital and learning. DEB was cited as a pioneering initiative in the NESTA report, Decoding Learning, and as a city, we’ve gone on to develop the digital festival, and Teachmeets, Code Clubs and some interesting crosssector projects like Art at Work. Brighton was one of the earliest YRS centres, led by Nixon McInnes and Cogapp, and arts organisations like BDF founding partner Lighthouse have bucked the national trend by hosting YRS Brighton several times. What’s interesting now, is that the city has at least twenty or thirty new digital learning start-ups. Some of these are exploring new out-of-school digital learning economies, and are offering coding and creative media skills that schools and traditional arts organisations don’t have the resources or curriculum permission to explore. Many of these new digital companies like Exploring Senses, Maker Club and Curiosity Hub are part of BDF this year, so keep an eye out for them when you check out the festival programme.

Has it been a good or bad year for Brighton’s digital cluster?

The Brighton Digital Festival is a celebration of the digital world, but it’s also a celebration of Brighton. So we brought together four of the city’s most respected people in the digital sector to examine the landscape of Brighton and give their insight into the fusion that the city encourages between digital business and creative enterprise.

JENNI LLOYD CREATIVE COLLABORATOR / PURPOSELAB @JENNILLOYD

MATT PEARSON CREATIVE CODER / BRANDWATCH @ZENBULLETS

Matt: It’s been a year of changes. Whether you can say those changes have been good or bad will depend on where you’re sitting. For those reliant on arts funding things have been pretty bleak, and appear to be getting bleaker. But on another level there have been a number of companies making significant breakouts. Brandwatch, who I work for, have literally exploded; rapidly expanded to a size that only a few years ago would have been complete unsustainable within a town the size of ours. Jenni: One good thing is that we’re starting to attract start-ups into the city. People-to-people insurance start-up Guevara is setting out to disrupt the insurance industry – and they believe Brighton is the right place to do so, not just because of our digital creativity but because we are “innovative, disruptive, collaborative, progressive, with the liberal ideals to make the world a better place.” Sam: It’s great to see so many of Brighton’s digital businesses thriving. The award of the Digital Catapult Centre was a big win for the city too and there is some great work going on at the local universities. I’d say the cluster is getting stronger every year.

What excites and scares you most about The Internet Of Things? Jenni: I’m excited by the possibility of human, social problems being solved with new tools but scared by the thought of investment being made in products that have no real utility. Or worse – city authorities investing in sensors because big tech firms are overselling the benefits, but that money having no impact on how liveable the city is for its inhabitants.

Matt: The IoT, to my mind, can only take the most cautious steps towards popular acceptance while the privacy problem remains unsettled. The concept of a net-connected toothbrush or hair dryer is now a lot less cute post-Snowden, with the fear of whom we may be inadvertently allowing into our bathrooms. Gillian: The Internet of Things and Big Data represent major transformations in the digital economy. These relate to new thinking about personal and organisational data and how it can be shared to make our daily lives more efficient, effective and, as a result, more informed, less stressful, and even fun in some cases.

The more information we have the easier progress can be made. But where should we draw the line on transparency in personal data? Matt: Social data is so, so young. Barely an infant. We, and our children, are essentially alpha-testers for a new form of collective intelligence, and at this early stage no-one really knows what it is yet. I think we’d be wise to avoid any de facto standards for sharing at this point, whether from peer groups, parents, futurists or unread terms and conditions checkboxes. We need to feel our way, with maximum caution, towards something that works for us first, the machines second. Sam: All personal data collection should be explained and justified. Everyone should have the right to delete or request their data back. The value of personal data should also be reciprocated by the collector. Legislation should be in place to stop the re-purposing of personal data for anything other than the original explanation given at the point of collection. The punishment for data breaches should be severe. Where possible, data should be anonymous and made ‘open’ for all to explore and build with. Gillian: This touches on issues which we all have opinions and different views, and about which we have concerns and hesitations, so the community orientation of the Brighton Digital Festival is a perfect opportunity for us to think about them creatively and openly and share our perspectives. My hope for the festival is that this will happen in unexpected and creative ways to help us all navigate this brave new data-rich world sensitively and confidently.

Introducing the Education Programme Our wish for the BDF Education strand is to involve and engage more young people, schools, colleges and lifelong learners from all communities within Brighton and the surrounding areas. This year we have partnered with the Royal Institute and Brighton & Hove High School to host a series of Ri Computer Science Masterclasses –enabling Year 9 students to participate in interactive workshops and lectures with industry leading professionals and academics. TeKno Kids is a conference for young people, by young people. We will have young speakers from local creative and maker groups, Young Rewired State teams, and independent speakers ranging from 9 to 19 years old.

Digital Education Commissions I’m also pleased that this year’s Education Commissions really reflect the depth and breadth of the creative and digital education community. At the heart of SPARK Brighton are five workshops bringing together teachers, entrepreneurs, employers and young people, to find new ways to teach new skills within traditional education. Toy Hack Digital Metropolis will work with young people to design and construct a stunning cardboard cityscape and bring it to life with video mapped projections. Curiosity Hub’s Let’s Create Together is a day where girls and boys (ages 7+) are invited to bring along a grown-up and introduce them to their world of technology. The People Place Digital Mutations exhibition at Jubilee library will showcase the collaboration between artists, technologists and educators Exploring Senses, BlockBuilders and Nomadic Sound System. BlockBuilders’ Redesigning Brighton Seafront enables kids to be as creative as possible and build something great. The designs will be 3D printed and displayed at an exhibition later in the month.

Grassroots Fund 2015 DIGI-FEARS PART 1 A new world has begun! The rule of robots! Will we lose control whilst machines take over? Are robots finally going to rule the world? Join artists Lorenza Ippolito, CiCi Blumstein, Anna Dumitriu and Alex May to discuss how clever algorithms and ever smarter robots will be part of our future lives. Fabrica Free 08 Sept / 14:30–16:00

Cultivating safe forums for people who are largely underrepresented or marginalised within digital industries and society at large. Showcasing long tail communities who are widespread online but rarely appear to occupy IRL space. Celebrating individuals who creatively subvert mainstream media narratives and characters to better represent their own identities and desires. These are some of the themes that are prevalent throughout this year’s Grassroots Fund Award events. And that’s just the start. Stepping outside of the commercially hyper-aware world of AAA gaming to celebrate the ingenuity and artistry of indie game developers. Interrogating fears around the future of robotics, virtual reality, and our increasingly mediated lives and bodies. Nurturing the creativity of young people through virtual and face-to-face collaboration and mentorship. Outstanding community-driven activity is, and always has been, at the proverbial heart of Brighton Digital Festival. For the past three years we’ve been fortunate enough to be able to offer Grassroots Fund Awards to independently organised events that are small in scale but large in scope, with a particular focus on activity that would be unlikely to take place without financial support. Grassroots Awards have been made possible by Arts Council England and generous support from Brighton & Hove City Council.
