DigiClass

I’ve done some interesting work for a London based inner city charity developing a curriculum for age 12-16 yr after school classes, teaching digital skills that would lead on to accredited learning, using an approach of a ‘Level 0’ syllabus construction. The system of accreditation is based on what is provided by the British Computer Society, using a mixture of...

JOYnd

JOYnd was an idea with some concept for a ‘GPS enabled’ employability network, aimed at any person new to the job market who has marketable skills. This might be graduates, but it might also be the new entrepreneur schools or tech short-school attenders. It was at a pretty raw stage but I believe potential exists within the loose concept. Main...

Reporting Live

Reporting Live: The State of Today is a new project. I’m aggregating a number of feed sources to automate the generation of an OPML which I can then do ‘fun stuff’ with. I really like the idea of art through data visualization and this is my first serious project to do that (though Baby Saatchi may also turn into that...

Mediabank

Mediabank was a six month project working with several students on the undergrad and postgrad programmes for Digital Media at London Met. My brief was to work with a small team providing practical work experience by producing suitable marketing materials to help promote the courses. I’m a big believer in ‘authentic marketing’ so it was a real pleasure to be...

Photography on Instagram

I take a lot of photographs, when I go to Malta, as well as about town or in other towns like Brighton or up north. I favour Instagram to share the majority. Now and again I’ll create a gallery on this site, for less treated images at full resolution. This entry is to showcase the Instagram gallery, which changes depending...

The Art and Science of Survival

I like Blurb books. I’ve made a few, but my favourite is a collection of poems created to match images initially grouped only because they ‘looked good together’. The idea was to start with the image, then think of a matching title, then write the poem. As an experiment in creating a collection of work which is connected, and with...

We do Kool not Kute

I went along to the opening of a photography show curated by Jamie Brennan, “We do Kool Not Kute” and shot some video and stills. Jamie had asked me to have a go at making a video of the night. The show was great, and I really enjoyed making the media. This is the clip, there’s also a small gallery...

Baby Saatchi

(Updated 2018 for archive.) Baby Saatchi was a project about content, and centred around the idea of ‘Rogue, Sasstacular’. It embodied numerous sources interlinking scraped image feeds plus additional content pulled from gadgets, science, tech, design, fashion, travel and comics, so creating new identified (branded) content. I used Facebook and Flipboard to achieve this. The main hub of Baby Saatchi...

A project concerning change management in the higher education sector. The brief was to provide an online space for private and publicly shared discussion groups for senior executives involved in management of change, for networking, shared problem solving, case studies etc. The site (first beta) uses Drupal Commons and has been fairly successful, particularly in recruiting members in this sector....

RT @Femi_Sorry: It's not complicated. The only Brexit that is compatible with Labour's manifesto would leave us less sovereign than EU members. So all it would do is anger Brexit voters more. Therefore Labour's ONLY option is a referendum on the Brexit deal., 16 hours ago
