As some of you will remember, the first Houyhnhnms launched in 2002 was a global "Flash Inspirational Experiment".

Despite serious speed restrictions, we were starting to discover the vast opportunities Flash offered to use movement and sound in Web pages and in our interactive creations.

In that first release, we challenged all the creators worldwide to create a spot/movie on a specific theme no larger than... 45k!
Many thought we were crazy, but the actual result was 3.5 million hits, the participation of creators from 27 different countries, over 500 proposals, a Möbius/Unesco/Uab prize and the actual houyhnhners finally deciding which were the 23 best creations.

Things have changed dramatically since then... now technology provides us with tools and connection speeds which were no more than a dream a few years ago.
Television and Web are merging at a vertiginous speed and we believe it is time to try again this new emerging media... a hybrid between TV, Web and mobile technology with huge opportunities to discover.

At Houyhnhnms we have decided to go for a thrilling opportunity:
Create a community of creators with TV format.
A television which grows directly on inspiration.
A place to experiment new concepts for a new audiovisual market.
An environment to share the most authentic audiovisual dreams, with no need for intermediaries.

The success of this new project is once again down to the creators but now it is also down to the audience, who, as Houyhnhners (members of the community), will determine the editorial line and the programming of Houyhnhnms.tv.

This is a fascinating experiment for us, because we deem that, in a few years, most televisions will adopt systems to interact with their audience, just as the one we are starting to try at houyhnhnms.

We believe that by inspiring each other, we will inspire the world and influence its future changes.
In any case, let us flow... and see what happens.

The Houyhnhnms Team.
