- An inspirational team of bloggers, Tweeters and general social media enthusiasts formed a crucial part of the recent Silver Action art event by Suzanne Lacy in the Tate Tanks at Tate Modern on Sunday 3 February. This is an abridged account of their experience and social media output.It started with a recruitment drive co-ordinated by social change agency Forster Communications, fuelled by cake and goodwill at a briefing session on the Thursday evening before the event.That was followed by growing excitement and anticipation from the social media participants.
