In today’s Sunday Herald comes a ‘reveal’ on 4iP’s first major project in Scotland, with independent interactive designers ISO. Central Station is a place to share your art and find new talent, be mentored by some of the art world’s best names and be entertained by and engaged in the making of a web fiction. The action starts this April.
Edd McCracken’s piece concentrates mostly on the web fiction, to be filmed in and around Glasgow School of Art, one of many partners in the project.
But far from being “telly on the web”, something 4iP’s not interested in, the web fiction elements will in themselves reflect the art, artists and techniques being talked about by communities of artists aggregated in and around Central Station; as Damien Smith of ISO put it in our planning meeting last November, they will be “of the medium”.
Amateur artists aspiring and those already making moves in art schools around the country will also find a place where they can share their artwork, with the chance to win regular prizes that, really, money cannot buy. The final award after nearly a year of frenzied publishing will be a major cash art prize, we think, the world’s biggest for social media creativity.
Dive in a take a peek at the article, and also at our new featured group this fortnight, covering the company with whom we have the pleasure of developing this artistic beast: ISO.

Hi Ewan,
Was very excited and interested to hear about today’s announcements. And glad to see that our own idea submitted in November is so inline with your thinking.
Perhaps we could have a further chat?
James

Feel free to send me an email initially, though we’re obviously looking for ideas that are different from Central Station in terms of content. It’s hard to remember the initial project from the hundreds we’ve had in, so mention the project name or number if you can [and you really *are* more than just a number
]
