We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all of our early supporters! All tickets are now up, including student/unwaged ones (If you’re not a student or unwaged, there are only a limited number of early tickets, so if you want one get it while they’re up).

As well as that, below are the first of our speakers/doers with some of their work. We’re bringing some Yorkshire natives back from further afield, and tempting a few people up from the Peak District too.

Kerry Turner, originally from up here but now based in Brighton, works as The Rabbit Club to put out experimental work. With her friend Dan Bibby, she recently made the excellent and spooky short gamelike thing Heartwood (we here at Feral Vector are very much in favour of things).

Eliott Johnson and Matthew Warshaw are currently collaborating on the astonishing looking A Light in Chorus, which they describe as a game/art project. You can watch a magnificent trailer for it here but before you do that look, look. Look at it:

Tom Betts is another child of Yorkshire now based in Brighton. As well as doing procedural generation for Sir, You Are Being Hunted (which often looks eerily similar to the moors around Calderdale), he’s currently completing a PhD on videogames and the digital sublime. He’s also a bit of an expert on computer art. You can find out more and see many beautiful examples of his work at his site.

Graham T. Spence is, mysteriously, from The Northern Backbone of England, and will be coming a short way to speak about the connections between memory and place, as well as a current related project of his. Along with games and apps, he sometimes makes interesting experimental hardware, and has a good eye for trig points. Here’s some of his work in progress:
