Ten years of research and development has been spent developing these original portal spaces focused on technology, environment and sound that offer opportunity for entrepreneurship that benefits whole communities while reducing the impact on the planet. History How Ideas Become Reality Hello, I am John McKiernan, the founder of Fourth Portal, a business that I have been toying with for more than a decade. Having had an early career in advertising before travelling the world, I set up one of the UK's first coffee bar chains in South East London in the 1990s, which included performance spaces and a theatre. Since closing the last of these in 2009, I have been toying with creating a new type of hub space focused on technology, environment and sound that could create opportunities for entrepreneurship that benefits whole communities while reducing the impact on the planet. To understand how people consider ideas and make decisions I curated and produced a large number of long-term public art intervention s , along with my ever-increasing network of fantastic Platform-7 collaborators (view here ). In spring 2019, I set out on a journey to finally take the plunge and create my first hub somewhere in the UK. Calling the journey Haphazard Business I began documenting my thinking and reasons for my decisions as I went in search of a suitable location. The intention has been to outline how haphazard such a journey can really be, with unexpected obstacles and random meetings dictating direction of travel (and this was well before the Covid-19 outbreak sent the world into a haphazard spin). One such random event was meeting Gillian Harwood, founder of Busworks in King's Cross - a large 350+ business hub, who invited me to view Great Yarmouth, an English seaside town as a potential location. Gillian and I clicked immediately and I agreed to open Fourth Portal in two buildings that she has recently purchased. Even before the Covid-19 outbreak, this was a risky venture as the town has been on a downward economic spiral for many years. However, the locals are very friendly, chatty and welcoming and I have really taken to the town, so I decided to set up here. At time of writing, 15 April 2020, no one knows how the Covid-19 outbreak will play out; basically the world is closing down for the spring. What we do know is that beyond this period a new World will emerge, and I believe Fourth Portal will become one of the beacons for a positive more reflective future. Thanks for your interest in Fourth Portal; I hope you will visit soon, John M Read More >

Two sell-out shows saw the Laserium transport audiences beyond the usual live performance, immersing them in a visual and sound mindscape. Post-event reviews described the experience as evoking the creation of the universe, forming unexpected narratives, and delivering sensorial experiences that transcended traditional perception. Funki Porcini Laserium Sunday < Back 28 January 2024 Two sell-out shows saw the Laserium transport audiences beyond the usual live performance, immersing them in a visual and sound mindscape. Post-event reviews described the experience as evoking the creation of the universe, forming unexpected narratives, and delivering sensorial experiences that transcended traditional perception. Previous Next "Scrambled brains," "unexpected connections of characters with the sounds," and "took the brain to many different places and calming" are just a few of the comments from attendees of the full Laserium at the Fourth Portal. The hundred-plus comments from the hundreds who viewed the 10-minute Laserium tasters during the Gravesham Light Festival had already piqued audience anticipation. What was encountered took the full-show audience well beyond typical live performance expectations. With over 800 lasers pulsating to a specially written composition, the Laserium is a masterpiece by Ninja Tune veteran Funki Porcini (James Braddell). Sitting in a blacked-out Fourth Portal, a former seafarers' chapel, the Laserium took the audience on a unique and surprising journey that "fully immersed" yet "allowed space within the mind to make your own narrative" (audience comments). https://video.wixstatic.com/video/2fcede_7a7a9e316d5841b4940a612b1e5ef75d/360p/mp4/file.mp4 Full Laserium show audience reviews, Sunday, 29 January 2024 Who is Funki Porcini? James Braddell, aka Funki Porcini, is a British music provocateur and humorist of the early Ninja Tune period. He mixes surreal jazz, found noise, synthetic strangeness, and dream logic. The name "Funki Porcini" is a twist on "Funghi Porcini," the Italian name for the mushroom Boletus edulis, commonly known as "penny bun." He spent ten years in Italy making music for film and television. Thereafter, he returned to England. In 1994, he signed to independent record label Ninja Tune and set up his own studio, The Uterus Goldmine. This event has ended.
