What is electricdecember.org? Electric December is Watershed's widely acclaimed online digital
advent calendar. It returns in 2004 with another unique selection
of gifts - from games to films, animation to music. This year
sees contributors interpreting a theme of Transformation
in a creative online form. One of the primary objectives of Electric December is the introduction of local community and education groups – many with little or no experience of the potential of digital media – to professional companies, facilitating partnerships to produce new pieces of creative work for the web. These partnerships ensure that skills are pooled and shared and the world of creativity on the internet is revealed, explored and discussed. The connections are made inthe real as well as the virtual world – despite the wide geographic spread of the contributors a real network of partnerships has been generated across the region through the work, with the process closely supported by Watershed and Creative Partnerships. Electric December 2003 involved collaborations between 26 media companies, 8 arts organisations, 28 educational organisations, 25 artists and 11 community groups. The transfer of skills through these collaborations involved over 800 people (around 600 of whom were under 25). Last year also saw Electric December achieve 1million+ page views from over 80 different countries. |
