Brendan Harkin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanharkin/) , founder and director of X Media Lab (http://xmedialab.com/) , passed away suddenly on Monday 15 March, 2021, after living the largest of lives.

Brendan was a weaver of networks and possibilities. A pioneering figure in digital innovation and media, he leaves an extraordinary legacy, and his loss is felt across the globe.

As a valued member of the X Media Lab communities, as someone who may have participated in one of the many X Media Lab events held in 14 countries and 22 cities around the world, as an avid reader of Brendan’s newsletters, we invite you to visit www.brendanharkinxml.com (https://www.brendanharkinxml.com/) – where you will find information about a virtual Ceremony + Celebration of Brendan (23/24 April depending on your time-zone); have the opportunity of sharing your own memories, photos and stories of him; and the space to remember him with others.

We have established the Brendan Harkin X Media Lab Scholarship Fund (https://www.brendanharkinxml.com/donations) to benefit students at the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts (https://arts.unl.edu/carson-center) , where Brendan served as an Advisory Council Member.  You can make donations (https://nufoundation.org/fund/01155190/) in honour of Brendan’s memory and in acknowledgement of his contribution to the emerging media arts industries all around the world.
