Please join us for an informal drinks party to celebrate the success of this years’ Media Sandbox scheme. The event will provide the opportunity to meet the participants, and chat about their plans for the final showcase later this year.
Bringing together leading technology, artistic and media talent,
Media Sandbox is a commissioning scheme to support South West
companies/organisations to research emerging possibilities in digital
media. In 2009, awards were made to six research projects exploring
innovative multi-platform content.
A quick re-cap on this years’ projects: HMC, Drake
Music & bibic, are creating a multi-sensory environment to benefit
children with learning and physical disabilities; whilst Nomos Media
& Radio in Schools are examining the role of pervasive media in
education. Indie Mobile are concerned with enabling musicians and
record labels to utilise short-form anonymous communications (such as
sms, msn, twitter), to create humorous campaigns; whilst U-Soap Media
are exploring the future of interaction in television programming. C6
& Steal From Work are considering how developments in pervasive
technology can benefit street artists; and AntiVJ are drawing up plans
for digital mapping technologies that will enable stunning projections
on buildings, objects and even cars. If you want to find out more, you
can catch-up with their progress on the Media Sandbox website.
The event will take place at Watershed, Bristol, on Monday 29th June from 6 - 10pm.
Places are limited, so guarantee yours by signing up for a free ticket.
iShed is a venture by Watershed, to enable and support innovation and collaboration between computing, communications and the creative industries.
