A rare opportunity to see the extraordinary musician Mike Cooper performing live in the intimate Fourth Portal Lab. Mike Cooper < Back 8 October 2023 A rare opportunity to see the extraordinary musician Mike Cooper performing live in the intimate Fourth Portal Lab. Previous Next About the event Mike Cooper has been described as "the icon of post-everything music". This was a rare opportunity to see the extraordinary musician Mike Cooper performing. ___ Mike Cooper Mike Cooper (b.1942) was a pioneer of the 1960s folk/blues scene alongside John Renbourn, Bert Jansch and Davey Graham, but his restless exploration and enthusiasm for world music and experimental music led him to greatly expand his repertoire. More recent work straddles the genres of free improvisation, ambient electronica, and Polynesian exotica, whilst his original country/folk influences and technique are never too far from the surface. Cooper has long been fascinated by the tragic story of the Franklin voyage, commemorated by a plaque in the home of the Fourth Portal, St. Andrew's Mission Church, Gravesend, and this unique performance will include a meditation, including video projections, on this expedition.

St George's Church Hall Event Type Demonstration About the Event Introduction Explore how emerging technologies like AI and IoT impact sustainability through hands-on games and repair challenges. Join us to learn essential skills for a circular economy in a fun, interactive setting for all ages. More on the event lead Dr Michael Stead Michael is Lecturer in Sustainable Design Futures at Lancaster University’s School of Design and Imagination Design Research Lab. His practice-based research explores the systemic opportunities and challenges emerging data-driven technologies (including AI and IoT) pose for achieving climate goals like Net Zero and Circular Economies. Cutting across Design and Computing, he advances Speculative, More-than-Human and Participatory Design approaches to develop strategies with communities and industry that support adoption of sustainable and equitable data- driven technologies and practices. Michael’s funded research projects include EPSRC InterNET ZERO, AHRC Generation Fix, EPSRC Fixing the Future, EPSRC-ESRC Repair Shop 2049 and EPSRC Edge of Reality. He leads the Sustainable Regenerative Design Futures research group at Imagination Design Research Lab. Violet Owen Violet is a Senior Research Associate for the EPSRC Fixing the Future: The Right-to-Repair and Equal IoT project for which she is exploring how Serious Games can be used to encourage social transitions towards cultures of smart technology repair. Violet is also a Postgraduate Researcher at Imagination Design Research Lab. Her doctoral research focuses on Creative Evaluation approaches, and how these can be used to establish the social impact of Social Innovations. Professor Paul Coulton Professor of Speculative and Game Design Research Overview Paul is the Chair of Speculative and Game Design within Imagination and the School of Design. His practice uses research through design to create experiential futures which deliberately mix a present experience with a speculative future that are concretised by combining immersive scenarios with artefacts produced as design fictions or speculative designs. His work has helped establish a particular form of Speculative Design; Design Fiction, as a research method exploring futures for areas such as the Internet of Things and Artificial intelligence. His current research focusses on more-than-human design to expand design approaches so that they play greater consideration to human and non-human actants within the complex assemblages in which new product and services exist particularly in relation to sustainability and climate change. Event Information This event is Free Open to all ages, fully interactive. This event is ideal for individuals of all ages interested in sustainability, repair culture, and the environmental impact of technology. It’s especially suited for eco-conscious tech enthusiasts, educators, students, designers, and community members keen on learning hands-on repair skills and exploring how AI and IoT devices can be made more sustainable and trustworthy. Families and young learners will also enjoy the interactive, game-based approach to complex issues. ___ Even more information ___ More on Michael: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lica/people/michael-stead More on Violet: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lica/people/violet-owen The EPSRC Fixing the Future: The Right to Repair and Equal IoT project explores how new design and legislation can both support and hinder the repair and reuse of ‘smart’ Internet of Things devices. Our interactive RepairLand game embodies these tensions, challenging players to find the best way to fix a broken smart gadget called Pet Tap. The AHRC Generation Fix project is developing open-source educational electronic tools to accelerate Digital Circular Economy education within local communities. Our Re:Play game repair toolkit and ROBB·E the Robot GenFixer pendant soldering kits are designed to teach essential electronics fixing skills. The UKRI TAS Hub InterNET ZERO project has been investigating how the environmental impact of AI affects its trustworthiness. Play our Energy Master game and meet a new AI aiming to manage its own and the local area’s energy supply and consumption. But can Energy Master really be trusted? Previous Next

< Back Ecoclimates: Climate-Response Modelling of Vegetation A simulator producing complex and realistic outdoor landscapes with vegetation growth and weather dynamics. With the ability to simulate more than 500,000 plants with individual geometries, the program can assist in predicting climate-response of vegetation to deforestation and changing weather patterns. ACM Trans. Graph., Vol. 41, No. 4, Article 155 24 Jan 2024 Publication date: July 2022 A simulator producing complex and realistic outdoor landscapes with vegetation growth and weather dynamics. With the ability to simulate more than 500,000 plants with individual geometries, the program can assist in predicting climate-response of vegetation to deforestation and changing weather patterns. Understanding the complex interconnection of plant ecosystems and their impact on the climate system plays a central role in predicting climate dynamics. While it is well understood that climatic variations cause changes in ecosystem distribution, structure and function, only recently it has been recognized that the composition of vegetation also impacts the development of weather, which – in turn – leads to the development of local climatic variation (microclimates) [Bastiaansen et al. 2020]. Researchers study the interconnection of plant ecosystems and their impact on the climate system as ecoclimates. In this paper, we propose a method to capture feedback loops between vegetation, soil, and the atmosphere at a local scale. We extend existing vegetation and atmosphere models and combine them with a novel soil model. This allows us to jointly simulate the hydrologic cycle, heat transfer, and light availability. We model tree growth interactively in response to gradients of water, temperature and light. As a result, we are able to capture a range of ecoclimate phenomena that have not been emergently modeled before, including geomorphic controls, forest edge effects, the Foehn effect and spatial vegetation patterning. __ WOJTEK PAŁUBICKI, UAM, Poland MIŁOSZ MAKOWSKI, UAM, Poland WERONIKA GAJDA, UAM, Poland TORSTEN HÄDRICH, KAUST, KSA DOMINIK L.
