Schminky demonstrated that it was possible to introduce technology mediated experiences into the heart of a social space without destroying the ambiance. The project gave us the incentive to explore the integration of interactive exhibition systems into the lifestyle experience of a visit to Watershed. The 5th Clark Digital Bursary will be used as an enabler to engage more artists in the exploration of this space and three visioning workshops were held to help us make sense of the opportunities and to determine a sensible process to explore them.
