mervin Jarman Tour 2010

In early 2010 we welcomed the wonderful mervin Jarman for a national speaking tour. mervin is a community art activist, interactive multimedia designer, human computer interface expert and was a core member of the mongrel Collective.

He is a particular kind of mongrel – a new breed of street art-activist emerging in new media and technology.  In 2003 mervin initiated The Container Project, a community media lab in a 40 foot shipping container in rural Jamaica.  The Container Project recently won the prestigious Stockholm Challenge Award.

You can follow mervins Australian tour on his blog @ The iStreet Lab.
