This is what we wrote on the site:

As brands and organisations begin to develop and discover a new digital space inhabited by communities and conversations, how do we look beyond the now, to a world where plants are talking to bridges? In this world, anyone will be able to integrate a digital inventory system to see when the robot will pick, pack and send your book.

And importantly how do we live in this space, how do we react and how can we make it enjoyable?  Mudlark believes in making life playable, finding the fun in the data and pulling it until it screams.  From social games to community loggers, from pigeon trackers to sending love messages, from hacking Shakespeare to Pokemon.

Mudlark is developing a number of new projects and games that work with these data sets -  and we are creating a space that allows others to develop new thinking.

Kicking things off,  we invited a group of people we know who are also developing new practices, projects and ideas in this space. They are nice people, clever and above all else – interesting.

“The future does feature some brand-new stuff that was technically impossible before, but, more importantly, the future has a different take on matters that are already here. There’s a change of emphasis. The future is like another culture, another country. We have to come to terms with the future’s language. As Bruce Sterling says we need to create more Spimes, and less Objects.”
