Consequences was a literature/digital arts/broadcasting project involving four writers - Ros Barber, Catherine Smith, Hattie Ellis and Louisa Adjoa Parker - researching and writing micro-stories in response to meetings with individuals in four places in the BBC South region: Brighton, Oxford, Salisbury and Weymouth. Each of these these short texts, fifteen from each place was then divided four sections, loosely corresponding to the head, torso, legs and feet in a game of consequences and the sections were subjected to randomly generated cut-ups resulting in an online game of literary consequences. Outcomes included a website, a print on demand publication, radio and TV broadcasts and a major televised culminating event where the micro-stories were projected onto the roof of Sallisbury Cathedral on St George’s Day, April 23, 2009.
The project was part of a wider BBC/Arts Council England national programme of activity under the umbrella, Made in England.
