Introducing our new season of research on belief, Douglas Trumbull's 1983 film recalls the tale of scientists who invent a technology that enables the experiences of one person to be recorded and played back in the mind of another.

Christopher Walken & Natalie Wood star in this race to confront the "scariest thing any of us will ever face" whilst the Military do their utmost to thwart them at every stage and develop their own nefarious uses for 'The Hat'.

2012 marks the centenary of the birth of Alan Turing, regarded by many as the originator of modern computing. The T100 Twittest is based on the 'Turing Test' for artificial intelligence - re-imagined for the social media generation.

Twitter is perfect for this test as twitterers may not be who they claim to be: human, robot or Paris Hilton? To a background of wartime jazz from the Bill Fleming Quartet, the audience will have the chance to try the game.

And finally... a little something for the new season, we introduce our annual fashion masterclass weekend - StitchLab. We've invited teams of participants from each fitting of The Stitch Lounge to collaborate with a muse.

Each muse has been drawn from the fields of science or technology. Teams will produce catwalk ready ensembles for or inspired by them. They will have just one weekend and only the materials and machines provided.

Join us at LateLab for catwalk and cocktails and an extra special screening of 'Bill Cunningham New York', a cinematic profile of the noted veteran photographer revealing his remarkable passion for faith and fashion.
