Seeing North Edinburgh through the eyes of the internet

Free event at City Art Centre, Saturday 11 February 2pm

Are you a tech geek and love seeing Edinburgh represented digitally? Well this free event is just for you!

Join us for an event hosted by the Data Civics team at the Edinburgh Futures Institute. Liz McFall, Darren Umney and Vassilis Galanos will talk about their recent work exploring North Edinburgh through the ‘eyes’ of internet platforms including Instagram, Twitter, Google Earth, street photography and community archive.

The work was conducted with help from local organisations including Screen Edinburgh, North Edinburgh Arts, Granton Hub and Edinburgh Palette among others.

The aim is to use digital methods to show the vibrancy of the area from the perspectives of people who live, work and play there.

The event will showcase the Granton CivicScope website and its collection of photographs, films and maps of the past, present and future of the area, and give the audience a chance to add their own images to the collection.

Brutalist photographer Simon Phipps and Darren Umney will talk with Liz McFall, Kath Bassett and  Vassilis Galanos about their recent work exploring North Edinburgh through the ‘eyes’ of internet platforms including Instagram, Twitter, Google Earth, street photography and community archive. 

Complimentary refreshments will be served.
