The interactive audio/video/installation piece "Freddy's Story" has won the 2009 Media Innovation Award for best installation/Exhibition. The Awards were held on March 12th at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol and the award was for the Installation's showing at the 2008 Sonic Arts Network Expo held in the Lighthouse arts centre in Brighton. It is great that a sonic art piece has now won in this category for two years running and hopefully signifies the start of the artforms re-invention as a truly accessible experience for everyone, from contemporary art fans, and those more familiar with traditional visual work to older patrons and children. It was also heartening as an individual artist to be able to compete with companies and organisations with much greater financial and human resources. Thanks of course to Freddy who is currently recovering from an eye operation (Get well soon), and all the cast who helped recreate a remarkable life.
