Call | Digital Engagement Commission | Folly
Project: Digital Engagement Commission
Commissioning Agency: folly
Deadline: 2nd Feb 09
Application: Further details of the project outline and background information
Event location: Lancashire, England
Project duration: Spring 2009
folly, a leading digital arts organisation working in the Northwest of England and online, seeks to engage an artist in innovative creative consultation activity in the county of Lancashire.
folly wishes to strengthen its offer of high quality digital arts provision in Lancashire. To achieve this folly is offering a commission to develop and deliver a project for and with the people of Lancashire in Spring 2009. This “Digital Engagement Commission” will question the role of digital arts and its meaning and benefits for audiences in Lancashire – people who live or work in the county, visitors and those who have an interest in engaging with it virtually.
folly is interested in how society makes sense of the world through art and technology. folly works across sectors and challenges traditional arts values by acting as facilitators of engaging and rich experiences, enabling artists and audiences to rethink content, value and meaning of the arts. folly believes in the power of networks and communal thinking and takes a collaborative approach to developing projects.
With this in mind the commissioned artist will undertake innovative consultation with the people of Lancashire, questioning the role of digital arts and its meaning and benefits for them.
* The findings of the commissioned artist’s activities are intended to inform folly’s methodology for future delivery in Lancashire.
* Artistic outcomes and ideas generated through the artist’s engagement with people in Lancashire and online are hoped to actively feed into folly’s artistic programme for 2009 and beyond.
