Arts & Gaming Apps - research &
development project opportunity
Closing date: 18th October 2013
Sampad in partnership with Birmingham Museum and Art
Gallery (BMAG), University of Birmingham and Mixed Reality Studios are looking
to recruit 15 art enthusiasts aged 16-24yrs to join a team of researchers,
artists, curators and technologists to explore whether mobile technology can
help cultural organisations engage young audiences.
You’ll attend a minimum of 3 sessions led by creative
producer Amy Martin to explore the potential of a mobile app by creating mood
boards to inform the game’s design and function. In these sessions you’ll also
get to explore the museums collections with artists and curators. Once
we’ve decided on the look, feel, functionality and content, technology
specialist – Mixed Reality Studio will begin working on the app and building a
prototype.
Our final stage is testing, to see whether the game can
be used to get more young people visiting and experiencing Birmingham’s biggest
and best museum and art gallery.
This opportunity would suit young creative’s who are
interested in knowing what goes into making an app, plus those with an interest
in audience development and working collaboratively. You could be an artist,
producer project manager or just a creative type who wants to play a part in
bringing museums into the 21st century.
You must be available to attend sessions on the 25th October, 15th & 29th November and no app building skills are needed. Expenses are paid
and mentoring opportunities are available.
