At Aether & Hemera we take pride in engaging with communities that host our artworks.

With this post we are announcing the foundation of an even more open approach to sharing our development with the wider world.

We've set up an account on GitHub where we will be publishing software and hardware details of general purpose components that everybody could use for their projects.

3 February 1879: the Sunderland-born Joseph Swan invented the first practical light bulb, whose developments would result in the widespread use of electric light throughout the world. it's going to be 133 years in a few days.

Newcastle was one of the first towns to be lit with electricity, Cragside in Northumberland one of the first houses to be lit and a light bulb factory at Benwell was the first in the world; there a post on the BBC about it.
