00:00A new AI-driven display at Altranet London will celebrate Black History in the UK from past, present and future this October.
00:08In honour of Black History Month, the Tottenham Court Road Spot is hosting a series of special commissions including Black to the Future.
00:16Produced by MediaStream AI and created by artists Olivia, Emma and Samuel Jay, the display aims to reimagine Black History as a living and evolving story.
00:26In particular, London is a key feature throughout, with the underground and other familiar landmarks also seen to make cameos.
00:34It's quite surreal. It's been a real labour of love, bringing everything together, researching, stitching together the visuals.
00:43So it feels like a huge relief and I'm really just curious to see how everybody's receiving it.
00:48I feel really proud, but I also want to do just by the culture. I want people to understand it, love it, just as much as I do.
00:58I mean, I'm born and bred London and so is my dad as well, so I had a lot of archive imagery to use to make the film.
01:07And yeah, it was just super important, again, to tie into the Black Britishness as well, and for us as well, please.
