Abstract
The idea was at once intriguing and preposterous. Perhaps this is what made it irresistible first to its authors, then to its collaborators. It would be a shotgun marriage of hot-off-the-press trendiness and cultural altruism, with razor-sharp commercial instinct as maid of honour. If orginality is one of the keys to marketing - and generally anathema to developers - this project set out to shift the compass points.
