Happy Finish are pleased to announce our participation in this years inaugural 'Geekender' on 24th & 25th October at The Photographers' Gallery in London; a weekend of events and workshops devoted to digital culture!
Saturday night will open late until 9pm, with a party to celebrate Photoshop s 25th Birthday, where you can experience the delights of Photoshop version 1.0, a live cut and paste studio (SouthBank Collective) and a 'Photoshop Battle'. The 'Battle' will also feature Happy Finish's very own Sophie Morrison who will be taking on members of the audience in a 3o minute head-to-head competition to see who can create the best piece of work from a selection of still images. Without giving away too many secrets!
Photoshop Layer Cake & Cocktails will be served from the Photoshop Toolbar whilst Adam Brown (Buncefield Records) will translate your favourite JPEG images into sound in a special DJ set. Visuals taking you through the history and culture of Photoshop will be provided by Central Saint Martins MA Photography Students.
