Working alongside Harry Bix, we delivered a website that aims to explore the processes within the art school from the visual perspective of the artists involved.

Do It Different

The Factory alternative art school and Do It Different (DiD) projects are part of an expansive artwork by Morgan Tipping that is housed within and extends beyond The Workhouse, Southwell.

Do It Different is commissioned by Trust New Art and Arts Council England and has been co-created in collaboration with mobility-diverse and neurodiverse young people from two residential homes in Nottinghamshire and adults from Nottingham Mencap.

The Do It Different projects are made in collaboration with filmmaker Tommy Chavannes, illustrator Mel Rye, musician Dav Shiel, East Anglia Records and dancers from Level.

The project process, exhibition and art trail are inspired and shaped by the diverse sensory experiences of the artists involved and encompass visual, sonic, somatic and movement art forms.

Through these projects they creatively break the historic rules and routines of The Workhouse and explore contemporary factors that enforce or maintain marginalisation in the present.

Plan

My role in this project was to realise the conceptual work that Harry Bix had produced from working with the students, into a functioning web platform.

I ensured we would be able maintain the artistic integrity of the DiD in a website format, by planning the delivery of design, UX and UI accordingly.

Design

Harry Bix extracted key concepts and design aesthetics from the artwork created by the people involved.
