START Art Fair is on at London’s Saatchi Gallery, opening to the public on September 10 and running to September 13.

The event is bringing in a total of 53 galleries from 25 different cities for its second annual run, including Dastan Gallery in Tehran, Galeri Chandan in Kuala Lumpur, Galerie Huit in Hong Kong, Arcadia Missa in London, and dvorak sec contemporary in Prague.

And the art fair is also introducing a new addition with START Projects, which will take over an entire floor of the Saatchi Gallery with curator-led presentations and group exhibitions, including a fully immersive digital art presentation by Japanese ultra-technologists teamLab, the debut UK solo show of Prudential Eye Award winners Chim↑Pom, and a curated section of solo presentations called ‘This Is Tomorrow’.

Augmented Reality experts and interactive design studio Visionaries 777 (who last February brought us their AR Spaceship app) are back with a new AR game inspired by the popular snake arcade.

“Snake Remix” while it still hasn’t been developed as a full game (it was made in 30 hours during last October’s Unity MIT Game Jam 2012 in Hong Kong) may hopefully join the ranks of Warm Runner and make it to one of those mobile appstores we all love.

Simply put, Snake Remix is a revision of the 70s classic adding some new interactive elements like those falling blocks which destroy the snake’s playground creating deadly craters… and hopefully we’ll see a more complete version of the game in the coming months.
