mega-t (megatripolis) satellite lecture Sir Arthur C Clarke on 31 May 1996 Heaven night-club London UK
organised by Martin Kavanagh and Adrian Clint and Peter Beardow (the Virtualitea room )
the full
...
interview
beamed in by portable satellite phone down the internet cables from his home in sri lanka, on May 31 1996 (long before skype, broadband, video calling, apps etc ) filmed by steve teers an awesome link at the vanguard of isdn / sat dish technology (although various peeps were doing it)
in diy style on a budget of about 10p
Adrian Clint travelled to sri lanka - there was a power strike in sri lanka which made the whole link even more implausible
unfortunately the link to the main room cut out (d'oh) here's the full unedited version an update from a previous short clip put on the web some years back
I'm raising a glass to Arian Clint Martin Kavanagh Peter Beardow and many others...
so this is the full interview conducted by Martin Kavanagh and Hari Kunzru
(from the megatripolis club, archive )
thanks to Steve Teers, Peter Beardow of 7E communicationss, Martin Kavanagh and Adrian Clint of the 'Virtualitea room' (mega-t).Martin ran the Vrtualitea room at mega-t assisted by Adrian,
and also to Hari Kunzru.
Adrian Clint organised the link from Sir Arthur C Clarke's home in Sri Lanka. Peter Beardow at 7E provided all the kit and ran the link with Martin Kavanagh from Heaven nightclub, Charing Cross.
thanks Arthur C Clarke's family in Sri Lanka who helped make this possible especially Valerie, the Arthur Clarke foundation in Sri Lanka, David Higham associates in London
and last but most certainly not least Heaven night-club.
it was very lucky and fitting re his stop press news at the end of the interview
