Earlier in July Arts Council England and Innovate UK launched a £1m pilot art and technology innovation programme. Delivered through three organisations – Manchester Digital Laboratory, Broadway in Nottingham, and Makerversity in London – the programme will support the development of new talent and ideas at the intersection of art and technology. Participants in the programme will be provided with the space, tools, networks and advice necessary to develop new practices, ideas, products and services. Lucy Sollitt, Creative Media Relationship Manager at Arts Council England, writes about the development of the pilot and her hopes for it.
