Peckham TV

Peckham TV isn’t a TV channel. It’s just a bloody massive telly (actually a 10m2 LED screen) that we’ve got in Peckham Square next Saturday, 21st June 2008.

We’re going to use it to play a game of “Who Wants to Be?“, the ask the audience game show. The goal of this show is to get the audience to collectively design an advert for Peckham. They’ll do this by suggesting ideas which we will visualise instantly on the giant screen. Then people will vote on them using our computer vision voting system, advised by a panel of experts, chaired by artist Harold Offeh.

I say Peckham, you say… ?

Harold Offeh and The People Speak were commissioned to make a piece of art for Peckham Square. Instead of coming up with our own idea we asked the people. As you can see in the video above, they said what needed changing most in the area was people’s perception of Peckham. That’s why we’re all getting together to make an advert.

Come next Saturday and give your ideas and your vote to the process.
