VOLCO

VOLCO is a Virtual Online Co-Operative environment, an evolving virtual planet being constructed by children co-operating across the world. Hundreds of young people are creating the Volcan archives through interaction with others of different cultures and life experiences. The result is a growing and increasingly complex virtual society out of the imaginations of children. This is being developed into a transferable educational resource capable of supporting a wide range of subjects in the school curriculum.

The Catch 2002

‘Where are you going, and what do you wish?
The old moon asked the three.
We have come to fish for the
herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we…’

The Catch was a gateway public artwork for Barking town centre designed by artist Loraine Leeson of cSPACE, in collaboration with Anne Thorne Architects Partnership and built by Alloy Fabweld Ltd. It is situated close to Barking Town Centre in the Fanshawe Avenue roundabout. The theme reflects two key elements of Barking's history - the fishing industry and the area's Saxon heritage. Ultimately however The Catch is an image for the future – its possibilities grounded in the area's history and experience as the basis upon which the potential of its young people may be realised.
