BBC Blast is the popular UK broadcast company’s network of “creative teenagers”. The goal is to mentor young people by providing them with opportunities to showcase their talent through contests, work experiences, free events, and an online community.
The website has always been a highly interactive place where people can upload their work and find out more about events in their area, but the BBC recently took the online experience to the next level by combining the virtual with a real time real world installation.

“The Blast Studio, a real time interactive installation, gave young people the opportunity to experiment in the Topolski Studio at the Southbank Centre, whilst making the kind of mess they¹d never get away with at home.

“But somewhere between the flinging paint and ever-evolving sculptural ooze is a serious attempt to bring a young community together and encourage them to unleash their creativity.”
