Essex County Council has commissioned three new pieces of digital artwork that will help engage the community with the Essex celebrations of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The work produced will focus on enabling young people to participate in the development of the project through working with the artist, as well as helping to engage with more diverse audiences, ensuring that Essex residents can be part of the project even if they are unable to attend a "Sparks will Fly…" event.

This commission, a collaboration with Stuart Bowditch, will involve us working with young carers through SCAFT (Supporting Carers and Families Together) to develop a ring tone 'treasure hunt', where elements of the ringtone are discovered through geocaches at South Essex sites linked to "Sparks will Fly..." and combined using a bespoke mobile phone application. The project is currently in the development phase and will be launched in 2012; more details will be added to this page later in the year.
