Reactions from winner:

"Very honored to be included.  Special thanks to everyone at Google, Radical Media, Mirada, and NK that made this project possible.  Thanks to Danger Mouse and EMI for being so patient.  And of course, thanks so much to the FWA and everyone that voted." - Chris Milk

"This project is a perfect way of harnessing the creativity and vision of all the partners - Danger Mouse's incredible music, Chris Milk's amazing visual skills and Google's technical prowess, to produce this wonderfully immersive and wholly original experience." Dominic Louth, Digital Media Manager, EMI/Parlophone

"We're thrilled to get this award. It was a huge experiment and fantastic trial for a brand new technology. Hopefully we managed to connect a broader community to the capabilities of WebGL and introduce the new technology with some valuable working methods and tests. As always it was an honor to work with Chris Milk, Mr.doob, and our new friends at North Kingdom and Mirada who went on this crazy journey with us. Also big thanks to those that voted for the project and showed their support." - Aaron Koblin, Creative Director, Google Creative Lab

“It is a tremendous honor to receive FWA's People Choice Award 2011. We, at Google's Creative Lab, had an amazing time working on the Wilderness Downtown last year with Chris Milk. We really wanted to embark on a new journey with him and Mr.doob to showcase the latest web technologies, offered by modern browsers such as Google Chrome. In fact, we believe 2011 has been a real milestone for the Web with the introduction of WebGL, that essentially transforms your browser in an open source video game console. Since "ROME's 3 Dreams of Black" was made out of brand new technologies, we worked really hard with Mirada and North Kingdom to share all our findings and code with the developer community on the site. That is also why, getting people's recognition makes us immensely proud. More importantly, we have been really thrilled to see other fantastic WebGL experiments made by developers from all around the world and we can't wait to see what the Web will come up with in the coming months...” - Thomas Gayno, Marketing Manager, Google Creative Lab

“Working with 3 Dreams of Black was an amazing team effort. So many brilliant minds who worked hard together cross disciplines and areas of knowledge to make it happen – a rare creative joint venture that brought Aaron and Chris’ wonderful visions to life. This award is the finest recognition you can get in our industry, so we are all super happy and amazingly proud. Part of the goal was to move and inspire the community; therefor it feels extra good to receive the FWA PCA 2011.” - Daniel Ilic, Creative Director, North Kingdom
