I know about Culture Hack Day:

http://culturehackday.org.uk/

and just after that there's the rescheduled Culture Grid Hack Day:

http://www.culturegridhackday.org.uk/

I wasn't aware of space time camp:

http://lanyrd.com/2011/time-and-space-camp/

so thank you for mentioning that!

What I would like to do that is different from the other events is to 
concentrate specifically on art rather than broader culture or heritage, 
and to do more on digging into art historical / art critical data. The 
sort of projects I have in mind are things like:
