Mudlark proposes to create an interactive game & artwork in the West Midlands over the Olympic summer. On the first day, twenty portable and intriguing electronic devices, symbolic of the Olympic Torch, will be released into the centre of Birmingham at a launch ceremony. Each 'Torch' will be connected via the web and will be constantly GPS tracked. Each device will build up a live log of photographs, names and places which will evolve into a series of organic visualisations and sound that will grow with the data. Six weeks later, the Torch that has travelled the furthest - having passed through the most hands and reaching the most unique locations round the region - will win.
