Digi-Play (Bangkok)

The British Council asked us to curate, develop and help produce a six week long event in Bangkok for March/April 2011 focusing on 3D animation work, game design, modern game production and video developments.

We were asked to develop an exhibition, speaker programme, and present our thoughts on the future of digital at The Thailand Creative & Design Centre. TCDC is an amazing resource centre set up to provide Thais with easy access to design inspiration, encouraging entrepreneurs and creative thinking.

Playing with a 500m2 space, we wanted to look at the UK heritage over the last 40 years of UK game development, have a playable area of current UK talent and show a number of  up-and-coming  Thai developers and 3D artists. For the exhibition of current UK talent, it was important to us to show indie games (Chime, Hohokum), mobile innovations (Papa Sangre) and University digital design showreels (Abertay, Newport, Teesside), as well as small number of large publisher offerings.

We worked with Ian Livingstone at Eidos, Hugo Sands at Passion Pictures, as well as the teams of the British Council in the UK and Thailand.
