	The Junction - Public Art Commision - SIMSIM
		SIMSIM explores the idea that for most of our waking lives, through the influence and pressure to be media 'orientated', we live as though we are stars within our own movie...
		SIMSIM is fortunate to have strong connections with record producers such as 'Twisted Nerve Records' (responsible for the development of Badly Drawn Boy, Simian, Ladytron etc. http://www.twistednerve.co.uk) and K7 management (Spacek, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Tiga, Swayzak http://www.k7.com).
		SIMSIM's episodes will be longer as they will not be as physically demanding as most existing simulator rides and will be developed through testing, allowing an evaluation into the percentages and degrees of motion and stillness one can achieve without motion sickness in a project of this nature.

	The Communication Initiative - Experiences - Sesame Stories (Sippuray Sumsum/Hikayat Simsim) - Israel, Palestine & ...
		Sesame Workshop, the USA-based non-profit educational media organisation that created Sesame Street, has worked with a group of Jordanian, Israeli and Palestinian co-production partners to create Sesame Stories (Hikayat Simsim in Arabic; Sippuray Sumsum in Hebrew), a multimedia project that presents messages of respect and understanding to young children in the Middle East.
		At the core of the initiative is a television programme that combines live action segments featuring the Sesame Street Muppet characters with animation and mini-documentaries.
		As of December 2005, each of the original Sesame Stories producers in the Middle East is planning to embark on a new season of programming.

		As the goal is to use the lure of television to provide pre-school education for the very young, Iftah Ya Simsim uses the same fast-paced "magazine" format as a model and retains advisors from the Children's Television Workshop of New York, the originators of Sesame Street.

		According to a survey conducted by Azercell, SimSim has become a service that is used by almost every segment of the Azerbaijani population.
		Perhaps this is because SimSim is so easy to use: subscribers to this convenient pre-paid service no longer have to worry about the hassles of paying a subscription fee, dealing with monthly invoices or locating a payment center.
		Since SimSim is the easiest and least expensive way to gain access to cellular phone service, it's no wonder that this package has became popular among a broad range of subscribers in just a short period of time.

	The Junction - Public Art Commision - SIMSIM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In a culture where objects are losing their significance, and the buildings that we live in become more and more temporary, Blackledge's SIMSIM pulls us back to an incredibly powerful object that stays put and yet is in constant (more or less) motion.
		The act of questioning, of investigating, and of peeling back the layers of media involvement in our lives is the first step towards taking control of those messages.
		Blackledge's SIMSIM demonstrates a keen insight into the internal workings of mass media, and perhaps even forges a path out of that maze and into the light.
