The bITjAM is a response to a real need in the creative community for a space in which to explore digital arts, creative ideas, collaborations and soundscapes.
Carl Plant and Ben McManus are the main animators of the bitjam, playing, organising, publicising, delivering workshops and digitally animating spaces. They are aware that the main aim of biTjAM is about collaborating and sharing ideas, communication through sound and value of experimentation.
Since its inception, biTjAM have been involved in collaborations with visual artists from all over the midlands. Musicians and sound artists from Stoke to Stockholm have travelled to be a part of the experience and have intern continued some of these creative collaborations.

December bITjAM will be following the theme of the Barefoot Doctors Standstill site specific journey. We plan to record the audio and video from the night and present this fo standstill. The theme will be based around memories of winter and will follow 12 interventions of Standstill.
- These interventions can be in any artform.
- They will be done on a tiny budget.
- They will be seen by the public (anybody) as they walk through Hanley towards Northwood Park.
- They will be seen on the run up to Christmas ( and maybe a few weeks afterwards - time scale to be confirmed) They may only be seen for a few minutes , a few hours , a few days, a few weeks —- it all depends.
- They all be branded as Standstill interventions and will have to make sense within the narrative of the Standstill journey.
- There will only be 12 interventions… you may need to collaborate with fellow Barefooters.
