Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard met and began working collaboratively at Goldsmiths, graduating together in 1995. They are perhaps best known for their recreations of cultural and art historical events and documents. Theirs is an enquiry into the mechanics of liveness, repetition, mediation and reception.
Clarity of information! This site has to do such a lot. In fact, I think this design is version five or six. We worked cheek by jowl on the design and user interface with Iain and Jane and they knew ‘exactly’ what they wanted so when it all started to fall into place it was a very exciting time.
Getting this site up and running using Wordpress was quite a challenge but I think we managed to do something rather special!
The site uses adaptive CSS3 media query based layouts to optimise the content for different screen sizes and some nice jQuery enhancements throughout like the sticky navigation.
We'll be the first to admit we're pedantic megalomaniacs to work with. Our web site isn't just a communication tool, it's a central digital record of everything we do. EVIL exceeded all our expectations... and we're still friends! They're relentless, resourceful and patient. Look no further.
