Hi,<p>Does anyone have any recommendations or advice on institutions and companies that can help guide/kick start development of public-space digital art ideas?
e.g Phone apps for use in public spaces; this Rain exhibition: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-19873953<p>Currently I have several ideas that are quite ambitious. Unfortunately, I have very little experience in how to go about getting these ideas delivered. Currently I'm based in London, if that helps in anything.<p>Thanks
check <a href="http://processing.org" rel="nofollow">http://processing.org</a> and <a href="http://www.openframeworks.cc/" rel="nofollow">http://www.openframeworks.cc/</a> forums, they both have communities full of digital artists and these are mostly the tools of choice for these artists.<p>London is actually a great hub for this kind of work with artists such as <a href="http://ww.chrisoshea.org/" rel="nofollow">http://ww.chrisoshea.org/</a>, <a href="http://toxi.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://toxi.co.uk/</a>, <a href="http://www.memo.tv/category/work/" rel="nofollow">http://www.memo.tv/category/work/</a>, etc based there. I am sure there are local organisations promoting digital work, contacting these people and posting the above mentioned forums might be a good place to start.
I'm really afraid I have no helpful information other then you may want to branch outside of Hacker News, and pursue more professionally creative individuals, and see if anyone can help with this..good luck!<p>I'd recommend trying TheGraphicDesignForum.com or DeviantArt.com forums.
