Finalist Johnson Manuel Devadoss developed an automatically updated screensaver for the Devalois children charity, which provides information on missing children. The 'Missing Kid Saver' runs photos of children, as well as contact details in case of a sighting, as the screensaver on the PC of anyone who signs up for it.

The Missing Kid Saver was interpreted by Sian Murphy, an artist and a ballerina with the Royal Ballet company.

"My work has always been concerned with the dislocation of what we see and the actual reality behind things, especially the pain behind the fantasy of childhood hopes and dreams and the real events that life actually imposes," said Murphy.

"In my own profession as a classical dancer, the general public perceives a choreography that seems beautiful and effortless, yet the experience of creating the performance is one of constant pain, blood and sweat; the razors of the tiara, the bloodstains of the points. And yet, paradoxically, it is a labour of love," Murphy added.
