On March 14th at a glitzy awards ceremony held in Plymouth'sHoliday Inn, "Darwin's Walk" picked up the winning prize in the Media Innovation Awards, "Installation/Exhibition" Category. Sam and Martin the craftsmen who constructed the metal sculpture , the students involved in the project, Manishima the shadow artist and Soundcube the lead artist , were all present to accept the award for the sonic sculpture that was exhibited as part of Expo youth at the Sonic Arts Networks annual Expo held in Plymouth in the summer of 2007.The award itself was designed and fabricated by a student from the same art college as those involved in the conceptualization, development and execution of Darwin's Walk. The award was accepted as a validation for the students and a timely reminder that learning is a lifelong process to be engaged with between people of all ages and abilities. Not forgetting the inspirational role that established artists can play in motivating those who seek to contribute to the creative landscape that enriches and informs the lives of us all."Long live Francis Dhomont".
