Research Interests

Project Something is a collaboration between Benjamin Hall and Jonathan Briggs with the purpose of exploring chance and place in a digital landscape. Our methods include, mixing the physical with the digital, the people with the place and the found with the curated.

We embrace chance and encourage the unexpected. We are both currently active researchers, lecturers and practicing professionals within the creative industries. The research is an outlet for our nostalgic intrigue and a chance to continuously assess the changing digital landscape.

We aim to exhibit our finding and experiments on an annual basis. The latest outcomes from our project will be exhibited in early 2016 in Leeds.
