A final workshop, full of future possibilities, was held at the Wales Millennium Centre this afternoon where the iMAGINE team (Cathy, Prue, Karen and Richard) welcomed some new potential funders from Cardiff Met and Cardiff School of Medicine to carry the iMAGINE vision into the future. We were also delighted to welcome back the original seed funders from CWEN (Creative Wales Exchange Network). Prof. Hamish Fyff and Dr. Richard Bromley. A wide range of possible funding sources were revealed in order to develop the aspirations of iMAGINE. CARIAD facilitated in providing feedback to CWEN of the projects development thus far, and looks forward to continuing this interesting collaboration into its next phase with both the iMAGINE team and CWEN.
Morriston Hospital Project: Imagine session two
An exciting and eventful discussion took place at OnPar studios today. Where Richard Crandon hosted the second brain storm event for the CEWN (Creative Exchange Wales Network) seed funded project iMagine https://vimeo.com/album/2409599/video/65959339. The first event (video link here) proposed a project which would transform the new hospital space at the Morriston hospital into a playful, dynamic and interactive platform for young people making the experience of being at hospital more enjoyable, perhaps even facilitate well-being and the healing process.
This second event brought together several experts in computer, web, interactive and technology art and design to scope the possibilities, explore designs and discuss the feasibility of some ideas beginning to form. The aim of the event was to settle on a series of key principals for further research.
