WGSN supports emerging talent with new TexSelect award
Jul 17, 2018 | By Olivia Barnes
The Future Creator Award is part of WGSN and ARTS THREAD‘s strategy to celebrate one creative future thinker in each of the six cities that form part of WGSN’s Futures Summit schedule for 2017. Each contest open to emerging talent from the region of the summit, the six winners will represent the finest emerging talent from around the world.
The winner from this year’s London edition is Vaclav Mlynar, with his innovative game called Koski, a mixed reality board game that brings the digital world into reality in a new and playful way. It’s a combination of real wooden blocks and a virtual app which evokes digital-physical interactive game play. Watch how the blocks come alive with the help of a tablet or smartphone:
The other shortlisted candidates are below. To see their full ideas and portfolios, check ARTS THREAD‘s website. Want to be the new Future Creator Award winner? Entries are now open for Futures Hong Kong.
