Other Professional Activity:

FACTLab is a collaboration between FACT and LSAD at LJMU. FACTLab is prototyping space situated in FACT Liverpool for artists, the public and digital industries specialists in Liverpool. The project enables innovative ideas to be tested, iterated and delivered in a structured incubator environment that nurtures local creative and digital talent. The FACTLab space is managed by a core team of two full time staff who oversee a programme of training, facilitated workshops and “Show and Tells”. The Director is the FACT/LJMU Inspire post holder Dr. Mark Wright who has co-design the FACTLab. FACTLab supports the development of action research in line with FACT’s Public Programme Building on FACT’s existing collaborations with a cluster of creative/digital practitioners, including Draw & Code, Uniform, Studio Mashbo, Red Ninja and Apposing, FACTLab facilitates collaboration with artists through solicited proposals. Those that demonstrate clear benefits to both parties that consider the immediate concerns of the research and how they can be co-designed to create impactful knowledge exchange through enriched arts experiences that is measureable, affective and has the potential for a pathway to market will be supported. The Pathways to impact are: • Jointly authored (academic/creative sector) peer reviewed publications Furthering meaningful engagement between marketing and the public designed to strengthen public consent of marketing strategies. • Public facing testing and ideation in a “neutral” arts venue • Creative industries sector awareness-raising and buy in • An arts-led research programme.
