On 10.June 2008, Ben Dalton (Leeds Met, Innovation North), Megan Smith and Ben Halsall (Leeds Met, Faculty of Arts and Society) will present their project DoGoSee at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London.

Their work is one of the five projects which had been shortlisted in the Exploding Narrative competition organised by b-tween to win a £10,000 prize grant for developing their concept into a product. The projects are around ideas for location-based games, stories or educational journeys, using software developed by HP Labs (MScape). The audience and a panel of experts, including Adam Gee (C4), Steve Moffett (Creative Partnerships) and Richard Hull (HP Labs), will give feedback.

See the final pitches and vote at the ICA on 19 and 20 June, or at b-tween.
