Watch The Space
The Space launched in June to showcase a new wave of digital art. Set up by the BBC and the Arts Council of England, it commissions a new piece of art every week.
When it launched, it was supported by David Hockey, Ai Weiwei and Marina Abramovic and hosted a weekend hackathon at the Tate Modern.
Boris Johnson celebrated the announcement of the Space, saying it gave “the creative industries a chance to develop new art forms and new digital art”.
Ruth Mackenzie, Chief Executive of The Space, is calling on talented artists from all over the world “to have a brilliant idea which can be enjoyed on mobiles”.
The best ideas will win the Tumblr International Prize or a commission from The Space.
Please pitch a great idea now!
