Participant Led Engagement and the REimagining of Exhibitions and Collections using Immersive Technologies.

https://youtu.be/2gtk4nE6S2o The above presentation was delivered at the Arts and Cultural Management Conference 2021 (ACMC) and briefly brings together three years of exploration with the use of immersive technologies (VR/AR) in engaging audiences and community groups in exhibitions and collections. Through experimentation and adapting complimentary digital technologies, I believe that immersive technologies will play a vital role in engaging “hard-to-reach” audiences,... Continue Reading →

Rainbow Map

As a personal project, I want to celebrate as many of these creative symbols of hope as we can and create a 'Rainbow Map' of these Rainbows. If you’ve taken one of these pictures, then you can add to this Rainbow Map by going to https://bit.ly/2z6yU5D and: (I've created a 'how to' video below to... Continue Reading →

What are we saving, and why?

“Staff not furloughed have become ‘unproducers’ – dismantling the arrangements for future productions, exhibitions, festivals and events. It’s like producing, but with more pressure and no reward. Others are rapidly creating the digital offer through which you hope to keep an audience and demonstrate that, behind the shuttered facade, everything is fine – no, really, we’re coping, still working, thanks for asking. We’ll be back, very soon.”

François Matarasso

This is an awful moment to be responsible for a cultural institution. Forced to close the doors overnight, you are flung into a torrent of demands and unprecedented decisions. There are staff who will need paying within days; freelance artists who can’t do their work; fridges of perishable food in the café; health hazards to assess; anxious trustees to reassure; donors to placate.

These participants can vary from a specific community group to other professionals in the same or other art form(s).

Digital Participation and Consent

Data, data, data... When working in a participatory context, arts organisations document and share creative work, participant image and information. Their words, their work and, in a lot of cases, their thoughts. The standard consent forms can simply ask about the capturing and sharing of a participant's image, their ethnicity, sex, gender, age etc, but with digital... Continue Reading →
