All the way back at the beginning of February Alice went down to Sheffield to check out 'Rewriting the Future' at Site Gallery, a fantastic show about speculative science fiction, specifically through a female/non-binary lens. We do love a bit of sci-fi here on Hey Art, What's Good?, so we thought now was as good a time as any to have a chat about it.

It’s time for episode 29 of the Sheffield Digital Podcast! We were delighted to welcome Sharna Jackson, Artistic Director at Site Gallery and soon-to-be-published children’s author. Sharna has an action-packed background in arts, culture and all things digital. We spoke to her about her career so far, how she ended up in Sheffield and some of the ways that digital technology may influence the team’s work at Site Gallery. We also asked Sharna about her role in establishing Playground, an exhibition for kids run as part of the Children’s Media Conference, as well as Sheffield’s reputation for digital arts and culture. Honestly, we had such fun chatting and covered so much ground, it’s hard to be specific on what we did talk about! But needless to say, if you have any interest at all in how digital and the arts come together, you’re going to enjoy this very much. In the second half of the show, we cover a range of news and events-based topics, including: the upcoming second Sheffield Digital Showcase the city’s Digital Awards as launched by Sheffield Star various meetings and conferences attended by Mel and Chris. Don’t forget, if your podcast app of choice supports chapters, you can skip merrily between sections with the tap of a finger or tip of your nose. Seriously, it works very well if you have your hands full. Enjoy the show! Thanks to Rebel Base Media!

Leila Johnston is a writer, artist, maker and consultant working at the intersection of science, technology and culture. She works as the Digital Art Curator of Sheffield’s Site Gallery and is well known for her podcasts, including 'Shift Run Stop', 'Hack Circus' and 'Site Sessions'.

In episode 9 of the Sheffield Digital podcast, we are joined by the fantastic Leila Johnston. Leila is an artist, technologist, curator, consultant, journalist and plenty of other things too. It was great to speak to her about what she’s currently working on, including her role as digital curator at Site Gallery. What else did we cover? Well, there was a potted history of Leila’s career so far, her thoughts on artificial intelligence and crowdfunding, mermaids, robot crows, and a look at Sheffield’s digital art scene. There was something for everyone and I think you’ll really enjoy listening. As per usual, we followed the interview with a look at what’s going on in Sheffield’s digital sector at the moment. That includes the launch of the new Sheffield Digital Skills Action Plan website, Chris’ visit from a Chinese delegation of senior economists, and a run through some upcoming events in the city.
