Dear all
At the risk of self-promotion (sorry) you might be interested in a new digital art commission from Wellcome Collection, which we launched last week. '15 Seconds part 3' is a longitudinal series of video portraits offering glimpses into the lives of 26 millennials born in the 1980s:

It's been an interesting project, technically as well as artistically (it's fully responsive, but did you know you can't have more than one simultaneously active video window in iOS? We do now!). For me it's been great working with an artist and front-end developer who are both extremely talented and able to feed off each other's inspiration.
But I get the feeling that it's still rather unusual for even art galleries to do fully-digital/online art commissions? Have any of you done something similar? If you wouldn't dream of it, why not? And is digital art something that belongs to a museum's 'digital' department or to their 'curatorial' department?
Would be interested also of course to know what you all make of it as a project.
Thanks
Danny
