Conversations and sharing between V&A, London and MAGNT, Darwin curators
In 2004, South East Asian curators from both The Victoria & Albert Museum and MAGNT began an online conversation to link and tell the stories about the ikat textiles situated in both their collections. Janison Toolbox generously sponsored the use of espace. This enabled the curators to upload images of significant textiles which provided the impetus to tell the textiles stories from their design and creation in South East Asia to their journeys across the world.

 * United Visual Artists have created a new site specific work for the Oyane Plaza, in the [|Roppongi Hills] district of Tokyo, to mark the opening of [|UK-Japan 2008]. Contact is a responsive floor based installation which allows visitors to use their kinetic energy to generate audiovisual forms that will interact with the user, and communicate with each other. Contact marries advanced computer vision techniques, physics simulation and a unique display surface to create an experience that aims to highlight the results of peoples interactions with each other, and their environment.

Science Museum, UK
http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/ February 2006: 2005 MacRobert Award July 2004: On 23 July 2004 the Science Museum unveiled its latest gallery, created especially to help young people explore how energy powers every aspect of their lives and discover and question the latest ideas on how we'd meet the planet's growing demands in the years ahead. ARD created one of the very popular kinetic game for the gallery. The Energy gallery challenges visitors to assess their dependence on the energy supplies we use today and to consider different options for supplying our future energy needs. Created by Ab Rogers Design in partnership with Shona Kitchen and in collaboration with Dominic Robson (BLINK!.) || ||

**Tate Modern**
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/ The 40-metre long timeline illustrated by Sara Fanelli is flowing like a mind-map across the bulkheads (between galleries). Creating a feeling of being neither fixed nor prescriptive, Fanelli's timeline conveys chronology, while at the same time evoking looser connections between artists and movements. Created by Ab Rogers Design in collaboration with Wolff Olins, Sara Fanelli, Illuminations, Spiral, Praline and Dominic Robson (BLINK!.) || ||
