Earlier this month Jon Bains was in contact to confirm the relaunch of Obsolete, our web design boutique of the 90’s now AI adjustment consultancy to ‘Work the Future’.

Few of us are truly better prepared and rehearsed to advise on the transformations ahead than Jon, who has gathered a wide circle of media professionals and marketing moguls to assist. The impact of such radical innovations can’t be underestimated nor should they inhibit our critical thinking and appetite for change.

Today we heard news from Fourth Portal they have confirmed lease on a secondary hybrid interaction lab in Gravesend. Whilst the St Andrew church chapel continues to offer event space there on the riverside, work is already started on adaptation of a disused restaurant just 5 minutes away, where workspace is being prepared for utility over the next 6 months at least.

This years DeptfordX arts festival included over 100 fringe events including the first ever listing for Co-oPepys arts project.

Essential preparation extended to well overdue lick of paint and wall mounting of the many paintings and prints by past members alongside new work of those contributing to the two week exhibition.

All went very well with more visitors to the community arts space than ever, several continuing work together on a starter pack and refurbishment of the website.
