An annual digital culture festival which began as a demoparty in 1998, Alternative Party explores creativity in arts, technology and science. The event in Helsinki, Finland, has provided opportunities to develop the installation work and brought it to an audience from all over Europe. The 2010 installation, titled Space Invaders featured developments from Blacked Out, including use of video and analogue light sensors to control multiple projections.

| Additional interactions were made through the use of This Belongs To cards, which visitors were invited to use to claim the projections and mark the surfaces. A related workshop on Saturday night saw temporary interventions in the city of Helsinki using an electronic development which used LEDs to project various statements directly onto urban surfaces.
