• Art Doodle Live: fancy painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa with your mates?

  by Togeva Team

  The Art Doodle Live App encourages children of all ages to create their very own paintings alongside works by classic and contemporary artists by dropping images of artworks onto a mobile canvas and painting in, around and over them. Using Togeva’s innovative Live Sharing(TM) mobile platform, multiple children can paint on one canvas simultaneously, meaning that groups of children can collaborate on the same painting even when they are not together!

  The App has been designed as an educational and inspiring way of introducing children to the works of some of the world’s greatest artists, many of which are only available on Art Doodle Live. Art Doodle Live was built by Togeva for the Bridgeman Art Library.

• Whimsichord

  by Di Mainstone and Dave Meckin

  The WHIMSICHORD is a wearable interactive musical instrument that will react to the movement and touch of users (or Movicians) responding with sound. We have coined the term ‘Movician’ to describe this hybrid act of composition and choreography. WHIMSICHORD comprises of striking spring-like modules that are connect to a series of fixed landing-pads via retractable chords. Each component can be plucked from its landing-pad and attached to the Movician in a myriad of ways. Our soft sculptures are specially designed around the body to seamlessly grip to the Movician as they traverse space and interact with the piece to produce music. As Movicians connect to the modules they will draw elegant lines from the surrounding architecture onto to the body. These strings can be twanged to produce sound, and each participant will become a human string instrument.
