This is Playful’s fifth year, and the loose theme is DIY - more punk, less spirit levels. Greg and Richard are ageing punks in the making, and have asked a wide range of the world’s most advanced creative minds and mouths to give us their take, their stories, their aspirations, inspirations, ideas and insults.It’s a conference for planners, spanners, designers, gamers, artists, makers, breakers, illustrators, poets, developers, writers, troll hunters, weavrs. Do you work with things? Do you prefer when those things are unique, fun, unforgettable things? Then Playful is for you.The theme is the flip-side of last year. 2011 was about what ‘now’ was supposed to be like, and how that didn’t feature jetpacks or personal pods filmed in symmetrically composed shots bathed in sterile white light and Ligeti. The thing about NOW is that it’s happening all the time, and there are a lot of people doing it their own way, doing it themselves, doing it together. If you don’t like what is out there, do it yourself. We’ve picked people to speak who have unique perspectives, and accents. It’s created and curated by the folks at Mudlark. Good honest Northern(ish) folks who make games, apps and story things out of data. Human things for human hands and minds, but made out of machines. Made possible with the support* Ogilvy Labs, Preloaded & Sheridans. GET REAL TIME UPDATES ON THE LIVE INTERNET. *Get in touch if you're interested in sponsoring Playful 2012..
