We are very excited about our public digital art project 'Urban Outsiders' and especially honoured to be part of such a wonderfully diverse global community.
Urban Outsiders asks: All people are meant to be the benefactors but wild animals and plants are the least considered when property developers and government officials decide upon a cities design. Using digital technology, how can we reveal and re-present this hidden, wild community, and transform the streets they are excluded from?
The workshop participants and I will be roaming derelict sites in Nottingham earmarked for regeneration searching for the plants and creatures that have been left to benefit from the sites until the bulldozers arrive. This imagery will then form a database of imagery for developing large scale live projections onto buildings in Nottingham (see image). The workshops begin mid April.
We have recently been sorting out allot of administrative issues surrounding the project such as New Tax Year Funds and an unusually early Easter and their effects upon our time table. I thought it might be helpful to take a closer look at this end of producing youth projects by creating a little behind the scenes documentary called 'Creatively Managing Urban Outsiders'.
Well all the best to everyone in ZER01. Until next time
Theresa
