The chair would be augmented with appropriate technology that could record, comment on and publish talks. It would be an attempt at an ecological <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blended_space\">blended space<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, I contacted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neilfyffe.co.uk\/\">Neil Fyffe&#8217;s Workshop<\/a>, one of Scotland&#8217;s finest examples of woodcraft, to enquire whether he&#8217;d be interested in crafting a storytelling chair augmented with digital technology, that would be put to work for the good of the planet.&nbsp; Thankfully, he jumped at the idea, so we got down to design work.<\/p>\n<p>With the sad passing of David in late 2018, Richard Thompson, whose PhD was being supervised by David when he fell ill, Andrew O&#8217;Dowd (School of Arts and Creative Industries), and I eagerly continued investigations into what would become a permaculture-inspired interactive storytelling throne and memorial to David.<\/p>\n<p>Last summer (virtually due to Covid), we presented our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/342599782_Hasten_Slowly_Developing_an_Interactive_Sustainability_Storytelling_Chair\">second paper on The Lions&#8217; Gate, and first specifically on the chair<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/computingwithinlimits.org\/2020\/\">LIMITS20<\/a>. The previous year I&#8217;d <a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/proceedings\/10.1145\/3338103\">presented a paper on The Lions&#8217; Gate at LIMITS19<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lut.fi\/web\/en\/get-to-know-us\/introducing-the-university\/strategy\">LUT University<\/a> in Lappeenranta, Finland &#8211; an institution fore-fronting sustainability and well-being in its strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Well, to cut a long story short, we had our first speaker sat in the storytelling chair at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thelionsgategarden\/\">our first (semi) public event in The Lions&#8217; Gate on 26th August from 6-8pm<\/a>. Inspirational, agent-of-change <a href=\"https:\/\/www.permaculture.org.uk\/user\/graham-bell\">Graham Bell<\/a> spoke eloquently of David&#8217;s favourite adage &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set?vanity=ankit.duggal.73&amp;set=a.4216976238417686\">Hasten Slowly<\/a>&#8216; and shared his insights from over 30 years teaching permaculture.
