Last week Phill Tew, Tom Mitchell and I had the opportunity to attend the Media Innovation Awards ceremony in Portsmouth.
We were up for best Installation/Exhibition/Event for all our danceroom Spectroscopy work: the science, education, shows and public engagement.
Well- We did a little better- we won 2 Awards!
We won our category, and then amazingly won:
Outstanding Contribution to Innovation 2013- The Judges Award.
“The judges thought that this was a ground-breaking project that has overcome the perennial challenge of making a heavy and complex subject matter not only accessible but engaging, interactive and beautiful. By fusing science and art through innovative technical, creative and educational approaches this project showcases the true skill and talent this region has to offer. The potential applications this flagship project has are numerous with the added benefit of educating children in a unique, fun and entertaining way”
