Meeting at Artstation studio.  This week's discussion very much focused around funding.  Alexis had discussed our project with the Research Office at Cardiff Uni, where he was surprised that they said they were only able to help with the conference side of our project, but not the art/film aspect.  We started discussing funding the two aspects of the project separately and thought about ways of funding the art installation, e.g. various EU schemes, through Euclid, the Churchill Fellowship, going to speak to the British Council, Yvette at Wales Arts International, etc.  But both Glenn and Wyn keen not to separate the two strands - the two-pronged approach is central to the idea - ideally the project should be funded as one package.

After Alexis left we set up the blog.  This helped raise our spirits somewhat, which were a little low following our discussion re funding!
