Joel Gethin Lewis
I am a consultant, lecturer and artist.
I love curating context and designing constraints for projects.
I enjoy being a catalyst for learning for both students and clients, helping them to build capacity and enabling them to pass on their knowledge to others. I particularly love thinking about new uses of technology as part of a group and then helping to make those uses happen.
In learning I'm interested in connectivism, threshold concepts, open source and being anti-obfuscatory, or against the obscuring of communication.
Ever since I saw the Wizard of Oz I've been interested in the mechanisms or systems that enable stories to be told or society to function. I am interested in making work that allows for real-time interaction between people, places, stories and objects through the use of technology.
I am currently researching solar-powered computing, the history of weaving and global scale augmented reality sculpture.

Even inside computers, binary numbers don’t exist. This talk will explore non-binary thinking, blind spots, perception, understanding how birds see and how we can help rocks to think.
