THOMAS O'CONNOR   -Digital Futures
 
         

Digital Futures is a collaboration between Thomas O 'Connor  and the Communities of the Liberties area. It is concerned with the developing polyvalent relationships between them (as communities and individuals) and the Digital Hub .

In 2005 the Digital Hub approached Thomas O'Connor with a view to visually developing the hoarding on Thomas St that would engage with the surrounding local communities.

Since then three sections of a Digital Print Mural have been produced with three groups using traditional and contemporary art making processes from drawing to digital image manipulation. Integral to these processes have been the extensive discussions around the relationship between the Community and the Hub, issues concerning the community/individuals and the ways in which to produce and express the ideas generated.

It is envisaged that after the initial engagement the groups will take each section and evolve it using the skills and access to the Hub's facilities they have developed.

The Groups involved so far have been:

St Nicholas Myra Heritage/Living Heritage Groups (Section 1)

OliverBond Home-Work Club (Section 2)

Emmet Buildings Community Group (Section 3)
