      <title>Workshop: Curating in Regional Museums</title>
      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/lcahm/departments/historyofart/news/2012/curating-in-regional-museums.aspx</link>
      <description>Over the past 20 years significant numbers of curatorial posts have been lost, and instead regional collections have looked to University research partnerships to fill the gap. The workshop examines this situation, and considers the challenges and the opportunities it presents. What are the futures for museums and galleries outside of the capital cities of Britain?</description>

      <description>No-input live coding is where no synthesis or pattern generation is explicitly used, instead feedback loops are created in software, and manipulated with DSP algorithms. The result is a resonating structure that is its own unruly kind of audio synthesis.</description>
