Let’s Get Phygital commissions 2022
Conceptualised, fundraised (70K) and delivered an action research learning partnership that commissioned artists across England to develop hybrid digital and physical participatory practice.
These commissions supported creative practitioners through radical and innovative ways of how we integrate everyday technology into our lives in a post-pandemic world.
Through a combination of support we investigated how creativity expressed and participation made simultaneously online and in person.
Supported by Digital Mentor John Whall.
