I know what you’re thinking… What the hell is that?!

THAT my friends, is the SpinVox Wishing Well, and it’s in London’s Covent Garden RIGHT NOW.

All throughout December (and a little bit into Januray) we’re inviting you to come call the dedicated local number 0207 818 0880 (or if you’re overseas +44 207 818 0880 – intl rates apply) and share your wishes for Christmas, New Year and beyond…

Once you’ve spoken your wish, SpinVox will convert it into text and project it across the inner walls of the structure you see above!

And, each new wish will heralded with an array of many different sounds and voices, filling Covent Garden’s East Piazza with a ‘dramatic soundscape’ unlike anything you’ll have ever heard before!

The tower itself officially opened yesterday and we threw a little luncheon nearby for some blogger-friends of ours, the photos from which are already up online along with a whole bunch of blog posts about how exciting this project really is… :D

Finally – if you’re unable to get to Covent Garden between now and Jan 5th ‘09 – NO FEAR!
The SpinVox Wishing Well also has a digital/online component which can be found at…

Yep.. You guessed it..

Enjoy and hey… HAPPY CHRISTMAS FOLKS!!

May all your wishes come true…

:)

This is a fab idea…..but it caused a massive disappointment to our 5 yr old twins (the second massive disappointment in a few minutes as the snow had stopped early at the other end of the market). The issue is that it takes a lot longer for your wishes to appear than the publicity notices outside the entrance claim. We all sent messages and eagerly waited in the installation for them to appear (you claim it will be ‘a few minutes’). We waited, and waited…..and waited. have you ever tried 25 minutes in a confided space with 5yr old twins getting steadily more disenchanted? So sadly a thumbs down from us as we never saw any of our messages. Loved the design and aesthetics and fun of the concept…..but it does not do what it says on the tin and my children went away crying..sorry but that’s the way it was for us. Key rule for interacting to create delight and satisfaction: ‘under promise and over-deliver’, sadly for us you got it the wrong way round.
