SPEED
DATING WEB CHALLENGE
In October 2005 we launched Digiville with an
inovative event which coincided with the Big Blip. The Speed Dating
Web Challenge was held at the Brighton Fringe Basement and was attended
by 38 digital artists. The participating artists came from a wide
range of practice backgrounds and fortuitously many of them had
not come across each other before.
Participants were given 3 minutes with each person, during which
time they were asked to talk about their practice interests. They
then formed teams of 3, and went off to work out a response to our
brief, which was to develop a microsite (under 2MB in size) based
around the theme of ‘scale’. The artists then reconvened and delivered
their pitch to the group, who voted on what they considered to be
the best idea. The winning teams were given £1,000 to make their
idea a reality. A more detailed rendition of the event and some
great mugshots of the participants can be found at www.blip.me.uk
The winning team consisted of Ivan
Pope, Luciana Haill, and Sarah Angliss. Their site is a tribute
to the recently decommissioned Routemaster
Bus, and is based on the idea of the Routemaster being used
as a unit of measure.
