Announcing the Media Sandbox 2009 Commissions

After a busy few months we can now announce the six Media Sandbox projects
for 2009. We will post more details later this week, but in the meantime,
they are:

AntiVJ | Mapping Software 1.0
>From plasma to cinema, mobile phones to TVs, affordable display technology
has largely been limited to rectangular screens. Breaking out of the box,
anti-Vj¹s mapping technology creates stunning canvases on buildings, objects
and even cars.

U-Soap Media | Viral Spiral
Viral Spiral is a live cross-media game show in which studio contestants
compete with members of the TV audience to solve clues which have been
hidden around the internet.

HMC, Drake Music and Bibic | Cyber-therapy
Multi-sensory environments have been around for years, providing therapeutic
stimulation via touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste. Can Cyber-therapy
use existing technologies in new ways, to provide cheaper, more accessible,
more meaningful experiences?

C6.org and Steal From Work | Street Art Dealer
The Street Art Dealer is a system where works of art can be bought from a
specific street location via a mobile phone using a QR tag, with a payment
system which directly links artists with the purchasing public.

Nomos | Audio Enable
AudioEnable will allow organisations to incorporate audio capture and
distribution capabilities into their own websites, without the need for
specific technical knowledge or expensive hardware or software.

Indie Mobile | The Dis/Wish/Dream Generator
Inspired by the Dizzee Rascal duet with Lilly Allen Œwanna be a gansta¹ the
Dis generator is a fully interactive, cross media promotion utilising social
media to link up music fans.

Congratulations to all. Projects start work this week so you can look
forward to many blogs, newsletters, questions and events in the next few
months: http://www.mediasandbox.co.uk/
