A Big London Melting Pot of Arts/Theatre/Technology/Games

Lots of cool events and projects going on in the interactive games/technology/arts/theatre worlds here in London. It's like fusion cooking - toss in a sprinkling of theatre, add a dash of gaming, mix in some technology, stir in some art installations, and let it simmer in a big interactive stewpot. Here's some stuff we're excited to check out:

On the games and technology side...Dr. Who: The Adventure Games - the BBC's largest interactive project. Only a downloadable online game, but it would be really cool to translate it into something playable in the real world. Hey BBC, call us, kthxbai!

On the theatre and technology combination...Such Tweet Sorrow - Romeo and Juliet in real time on Twitter!

On technology and art intersection...A L I C E at Battersea Arts Centre - a piece about the 'demise of analogue technology' from VHS to 8-bit.

On the art and games collision....Tate Trumps - a 'Who Would Win In A Fight'-style game (you know how much we love those) about artwork in the Tate Modern. Sweet. Soon to come from our friends at Hide & Seek.

To make those of you an ocean or an Icelandic volcano ash cloud away from London even more jealous, here's a video from some recent games shenanigans at the Victoria & Albert Museum from last month's Sandpit. Sadly, neither Chris or I could make it to this one and, but it's always lots of gaming fun and we can't wait for the next one! Video by the awesome Hannah Nicklin.
