Mindshare takes place on every third Thursday of the month and gathers energized people from diverse backgrounds for an evening of inspiration and interaction in Downtown LA.
Every month we also showcase new installations and games for our attendees to experience and interact with, created by the great brains at Mindshare Labs.
The artist, who goes simply by Austine, creates polarized light collages that she calls "Polages." These are interactive and kinetic or morphing figurative images. When displayed in special kinetic light boxes they change in ways evocative of passing time: a sun setting, the changing seasons, people aging.

This summer, sculptor Antony Gormley invites you to help create an astonishing living monument. He is asking the people of the UK to occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in London, a space normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals. They will become an image of themselves, and a representation of the whole of humanity.
Every hour, 24 hours a day, for 100 days without a break, a different person will make the Plinth their own. If you're selected, you can use your time on the plinth as you like. One & Other is open to anyone and everyone from any corner of the UK. As long as you're 16 or over and are living or staying in the UK, you can apply to be part of this unforgettable artistic experiment.

SoundLife London is a unique 3-D sound composition. It has been created especially for Leicester Square Gardens to reveal the three-dimensional sound world that surrounds us at all times, in the most fascinating and diverse city in the world.
The composition will consist of an hour long, looped 'soundscape' which will inhabit the entire space of the Leicester Square gardens over a 10-day period – at times manifested as a sort of ghostly activity moving and tracking visitors around the space, at others a subtle and ambient musical composition.

A group exhibition of wearable art, accessories, and technology apparel exploring fashion as a means for individuals to dynamically express themselves.
This event will focus on the themes of social computing and smart textiles. In particular we will explore the intersection of these domains and ways that technology is becoming "softer", enabling a new class of interactions over a distance.

The BBC launched Blast Studio, an interactive art installation in London, which allows internet users to modify the art space in real time. Users control machines remotely from the BBC Blast site to spray paint against the walls, add to a sculpture, and create an audio sequence with lights hanging in the space or text with automatic typewriters.
