Dave Patten

I am the Head of New Media at the Science Museum, London. My job involves all aspects of new media and AV from conceptual design, prototyping and production to project managing external developers & production companies. I manage a team called the New Media group.

I am currently looking for companies to develop new media for the museum, if that sounds like you please email me your details at the address below.

I can be contacted at:
Science Museum, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London SW7 2DD
Phone    : 020 7942 4864
Fax        : 020 7942 4857
E-mail dave.patten@sciencemuseum.org.uk

The museum will shortly be doing a call for new media developers & designers to establish a roster of companies we can work with for some large new exhibitions.

News

On the 15 May we opened a new Antenna exhibition called 'Does flying cost the Earth'

Projects

I am currently working on:

• The next generation of Antenna - the museum's science news exhibition.
• Health Matters -  exhibition upgrade.
• Proposals for new permanent and temporary exhibitions at the Science Museum.
  

At the moment I am particularly interested in innovative forms of interactive media, electronic signage & user generated content. I am also slightly obsessed with twitter, if you haven't come across it check it out now at www.twitter.com

The R21 Archive

A some what fragmented archive of a punk band that formed in 1976 in Erith. It made me what I am.
Click here for the R21 archive. If you have any information, recollections or pictures of the music scene in and around Erith in the late 70's please send them to me.

Click here for some web sites that I either like or find useful.

And see my photos on Flickr - I try and post new photos at least twice a week.
