message 43 symposium



Yesterday I went to Plymouth for a symposium, organised by Message, a research group including several of my former tutors at the University of Plymouth. It was an excellent day filled with exciting talks and two brilliant exhibitions.

The theme for the day was 'text + image = message n'
