V&A
WEB PROJECTS MANAGER 1999—2000
Ultra millennial website for super trad museum
One of my favourites of all time. Riding a wave of ICA cool, I had my own office, upstairs from the Sculpture Courts, and was responsible for transforming the V&A’s online image.
This was achieved with a retro-futurist design so controversial it’s hard to find any reference of it on the net today.
Extensive use of Macromedia Flash, isometric 3D, lip service to the Museum Collections, and it came out before Matrix.
Loved by progressives, hated by trustees, it won BIMA and C&DG awards and told the Dept of Culture, Media & Sport that the V&A was serious about the new millennium.
