In 2004 Futurecity were invited to contribute to BT Connected World Art Series, a unique and groundbreaking collaboration between art and business that built upon BT's established heritage of arts sponsorship in the UK. The Art series combines cutting edge technology with the talent of contemporary artists to create a unique platform to stimulate dialogue about art technology, business and society, whilst demonstrating the importance of technology to new challenges and in creating new business opportunities. In 2005, Futurecity & BT were been shortlisted for the prestigious British Council, Arts & Business International Award, for 'Plunged in a Stream'. The award is in recognition of a business/arts partnership that has successfully promoted international understanding through the arts.
