public works, 6th February 2010.
I'm pleased to have just launched a new website for public works, a group I've been working with for over 3 years. Indeed this website was actually completed about 18 months ago, but the very busy people at public works have struggled to keep up their ambitious ideas of creating a comprehensive project archive whilst also creating a massive body of new works. Indeed I've collaborated with them on about 5 projects over the time this project has gestated, and, in pixar style, there have been 2 project babies!
It's a lesson that I try to take with me to every project - data entry is a huge task, especially when it comes to collating historic information that only exists in people's memories and can't easily be given out to a junior member of staff to create.
For this site that's combined with trying to find a way to present the project as much as a process as in texts.
