Created by the ICA for Sony to showcase the high-quality portability of the PSP and to expand how the ICA distributes its programming, ICA The Show was a fortnightly digital magazine devoted to the best art, film and music inside and outside the ICA. Offered as a free download to all PSP owners and users via the proprietorial device website, The Show represented the first generation of short-form programming designed for cultural consumption on the move.
