Denise van Outen is a fan and according to the official Mecca website "Bingo is now the most popular group leisure activity in the UK". Artist Anna Best has just launched Eyes Down, a website dedicated to Bingo culture (online now until 14th January 2001). Layed out like a bingo card, the website includes the images, sounds and texts Anna and fellow artist Karen Stripp - a sometime Bingo fan herself - gathered from their visits to a Mecca Bingo Hall. Having been commissioned by the Camden Arts Centre, a venue which showcases contemporary visual art, the pair set out to analyze bingo's connections with gambling, religion, addiction and superstition.
