... A collection of all things digital

Blast from the BBC

BBC Blast

BBC has launched an amazing digital and real-life experiential event called Blast which was conceived and built by Fallon London.

The project was developed in 2002 to encourage 13 to 19 year olds to develop their skills in art, dance, film, music, writing and games. Since then, it’s had many guises, with the latest being a truly amazing virtual-control meets real-life interaction experiment.

Visitors to the site can write stories that print out within the Blast Studio, paint the walls, add to a constantly evolving sculpture and control a huge light installation.

Fallon has said that the studio experiment will contribute to TV commercials and invited artists will also be encouraged to participate with the wider internet audience.

Check out the video below to see it being setup or visit their Flickr photostream for some great visuals.
