Media Sandbox
Bringing together leading technology, artistic and media talent, Media Sandbox is an annual development scheme which offers a ‘safe space’ for collaboration between creative talent, technology companies and content commissioners. It is an entirely unique opportunity for creatives from the South West of England to collaboratively create radical new products and processes – pushing forward understanding and potential usage of interactive digital media.
The 2010 theme is Rich Pervasive Experiences; ground-breaking ideas that dovetail mobile, wireless and sensory technologies with content and context, to create meaningful experiences. For more info visit the 2010 Sandbox page.
Since 2008, twelve awards have been made to research projects exploring innovative, interactive multi-platform content and in 2009, iShed published a book to showcase the first two years of the scheme.
Media Sandbox is managed by iShed working with South West Screen with support from South West Regional Development Agency, Business Link and Watershed.
