About the project
Produced by FutureEverything, this place [of mine] was an ambitious digital arts programme for Greater Manchester. Activities included: a Young Producers scheme, a series of digital art commissions and an interactive web experience created in collaboration with Studio Treble.
In my role as Creative Associate, I co-designed and co-delivered the whole creative programme with fellow Creative Associate, Vicky Clarke. This included: designing and delivering the young producers programme, creative workshop design and facilitation, making creative tutorials and learning resources, and curating five new digital commissions by local artists.
The programme culminated in this place [of mine] – an immersive web 'exhibition' of digital art, creativity and ideas for the future. The online 3D world was built by Studio Treble, with artworks and ideas by the young producers.
My role on the website included: creative lead/art direction, content curation and management, website copywriting and 3D model making with Blender.
