I Could Do That is an experimental project where members of the public are invited to write comments about works of street art in and around East London. QR codes found by selected pieces of street art are connecting mobile phones to corresponding comments pages on the I Could Do That website. This clever idea allows people to interact around a piece or art on the street like they would a video on YouTube.

A group of animatronics designers have made peices to inhabit a one-off event in Corsica Studios. These scaringly lifelike robots have been programmed to move in perfect sync to tracks provided by the likes of Starkey, Untold and Kryptic Minds. To add to this visionary world of sound, live footage will be edited in real-time and projected around the venue.
The people at StreetFest put on another great party this bank holiday weekend. The main stage headlined by Mr Hudson but strong performances from Ty, Reeps 1 and the End of the Weak MCs really got the people going. Outside a hyped crowd gathered around a group of b-boys, also enjoying the sunshine were graffers and artists who worked throughout the day on their pieces. Back inside skaters took turns on a specially constructed half pipe, and around the way, a well stocked street market and cinema. Where else could you have spent your Sunday?
Check out the video for our highlights, photos coming too. Hold tight!
