Hello, I am Barney Livingston.
For work I look after Linux systems and networks. I also design electronics for embedded systems, and make interactive installations for museums and art.
I’ve been variously involved with the Maker “scene” in the UK since about 2009. I was a director of Brighton and Bristol Hackspaces, and helped organise the first Mini-Maker Faire in the UK. Every two years I help with organising content for the Electromagnetic Field Festival.
I can be found in roughly the Mid-South West of England, in either Stroud or Bristol.
This site is mostly a place for me to document my projects. Somewhere to point people who want more information on something I’ve made.
