Roar on the lions!
The Lions sit fifth in the table, and the atmosphere will be jumping again when they take to the court at the atmospheric Copper Box Arena to host Leicester Riders and Cheshire Phoenix on Wednesday 12 April and Friday 21 April respectively.
The Lions scored a 93-86 victory over Newcastle Eagles last time out and travel to Leeds Force on Sunday afternoon just four points outside the top four with five games left to play.
Tip-off for both games is at 7.30pm and tickets are available here now.
64 Bits
As part of a wider digital archaeology project, 64 BITS seeks to plug gaps in the historical record by telling the stories of the forgotten artist engineers that shaped today’s digital culture.
Take Alan Emtage, Barbadian-born inventor of the search engine. Billions of people use the technology he created on a daily basis but very few know his name. The exhibition includes a working version of his first search engine, Archie.
Equally significant is the work of designer Susan Kare. Her icons and fonts have been seen by billions of people, yet few know her name. The exhibition incorporates a selection of the key milestones in the career, including the original Macintosh icons, the MacPaint interface and the Microsoft Solitaire playing cards.
Another key part of the exhibition is an open-door digital media archiving service, supported by the British Library, where artists and designer can bring in obsolete media for us to migrate inaccessible historical artwork to a modern format. Where appropriate, the excavated work will be exhibited as part of the exhibition.
