On behalf of Goldfactory I am now maintaining the Nottingham Studios ‘Gateway’. This is a one-stop portal for all contemporary arts activity in the East Midlands area.

Along side this I have deployed a phpbb forum called GOLDFORUM which a multi-level forum for users to exchange information on the arts which subdivided into regional areas.
It remains to be seen if used on as large a scale as the now defunct previous You Are here website. All of this done with no funding and no support from ACE…..laughable really. Maybe one day they will catch up….

Finally I now working on a Trent Fine Art M.A., capsule alumni website which called Culturgen and which will go live later in year. This will be an interactive arts forum/profile/social network portal designed to link ex-graduates around the world.
I have already linked on left hand side of this blog to the Connect 2008 blog which helped somewhat in creating a group profile for exhibition. In my opinion things could have been developed a lot further in this direction.
