We invite data artists to apply for our 2018 Artist Residency. Building upon our inaugural residency in 2017, during which artist Alex Evans produced an exquisite collection of new works inspired by the Victorian Gothic architecture of the Bridge, we now seek to reveal new perspectives hidden within the fascinating data built up over its 124-year history.
Available data includes that relating to Bridge Lifts, from 1939 until 1956, other statistics pertaining to the Bridge’s construction, structure and mechanical processes. The successful artist will also have access to archives and opportunities for live data gathering.
We welcome submissions from data artists working in any form, e.g. 2D, 3D and digital.
A key element of the residency will involve working with the Tower Bridge learning team to develop and deliver a 4-6 week project with a local primary school, as well as a family learning event. Therefore, we are seeking a data artist with experience in public engagement.
