Quiet time

The Eye of the Storm is a great big video art project. One hundred and fifty people from around Brum  (including Clare Short) were interviewed to discover each’s individual attempts to “manage the stresses of modern living and find calm within the storm”.

Next year, the Birmingham stories will be incorporated in an outdoor digital art installation in Birmingham City Centre. Inspired by the way groups of starlings fly together, Director Marc Silver will incorporate images of birds to suggest more collaborative ways of living.

  1. Birmingham: It's Not Shit loves Birmingham, its people, arts, animals, buildings, parks, grass verges, factories and bus stops. We've even got a soft spot for the Black Country.

    B:iNS runs The Brummie of the Year Award, Talk Like a Brummie Day and organises odd stuff like spending all day on the eleven bus.

    BiNS is mostly by Jon Bounds, a Birmingham based social web consultant, producer and writer. You can hire him to work on your stuff, or follow him on twitter. There's also stuff from Danny Smith and Karen Strunks.

    Feel free to send us anything you're interested in - or think we might be.
    If you've got gigs to promote, best to chuck them on the talk board.
