Spent the last couple of days writing a barn-burner of a speech in my head for the #BetaFestival this weekend. I feel so strongly about my work and how this fellowship has both mangled it and advanced it. It makes me angry and vulnerable and I want to cry.
I'm looking forwards to the #Beta #Festival #betafestival #betafest_irl, which starts tomorrow in Dublin with presentations, panel discussions and lectures from / involving @abebab Emiliano TrerΓ©, Jennifer Edmonds, Noam Yougrak Son and Paul O'Neill among others.
Next week I'm running XR Masterclasses for #BetaFestival with Gareth Young and the team behind immersive experience Noire.

Beta Festival 2024

This weekend @micktwomey & I are soldering & testing buttons and headers on our custom PCBs & getting the kits ready for the #FREE ALT.CTRL.GameCraft #workshop at #BetaFestival (Sat Nov 4).

They will be connected to a #RaspberryPiPico, and we will also provide craft materials like cardboard, glue, etc. for folks to make their #AlternativeControllers.
