Portable Pixel Playground comes to Carnforth station

Saturday 18th October 2008, 11am-4pm,

Carnforth Station (Furness and Midland Hall), Carnforth, Lancashire

This October, the Portable Pixel Playground comes to Carnforth, and the Furness and Midland Hall at Carnforth Station. The Portable Pixel Playground is an amazing new play space for all ages created by artists working with digital technology.

A bit like an adventure playground, a bit like a work of art, and a bit like a computer game, the playground has been designed to allow young people (and inquisitive adults!) to use everyday technologies in fun and creative ways, providing them with new, interactive and hands-on experiences of art and technology.

The Secret Life of Cumbria

folly has commissioned creative technology agency Blink to allow members of the public to collectively write the story of “the Secret Life of Cumbria”, one text message at a time.

The new Secret Life of Cumbria project centres around what will become a year-long communal diary on the website www.secretlife.org.uk, written by each of the people who take part, using text messages or the website itself.

Support folly

Why Support folly?

folly's goal is to reach people with digital art, we're busy enlightening and delighting people, equipping them to live as active citizens in a newly digital world.

Our ethic is one of participation, inclusiveness, learning, production and celebration. We work with people of all ages and from all backgrounds.

Best of all, almost everything we do is FREE! And that's why we need your support.

Being free and fabulous takes money. Our funding by public bodies (local councils, Big Lottery and Arts Council England) does not make up all of our income. We have to find a large part of it ourselves in order to fulfil our mission.

Please browse the different ways you can support folly below.

Donate to folly today!

Whatever amount you give will make a difference by helping us continue to deliver first-rate workshops, exhibitions, film nights, software art, sound art, research into open-source technologies and to our yearly festival of digital culture.

You can now donate to folly using the secure Charity Choice website in co-operation with the Co-operative Bank.

You can also raise money for folly without it costing you a penny!

Everyclick is a great new search engine. It works just like other major search engines but it also generates cash for charity. It doesn’t cost you or us a penny, so it is a great way to help folly every day.

Join as a fundraiser for folly at Everyclick and raise money every time you search the internet!
