Matt Jarvis’s Experience

Associate Director, Owner
Lost Angels
(Computer Games industry)
January 2006 — December 2007 (2 years )
Lost Angels is a cross-platform game pitching human kindness against bad news. Quirky virtual-pet style "characters" on your mobile phone challenge your reaction to the unpredictability of live global events: You literally play against the world's news. Operating at the boundaries of gaming, technology and social networks Lost Angels brings an experience that will entice whatever your technical and gaming ability. An Award by MELT.

Technical Director
Site Gallery
(Computer Software industry)
January 2000 — December 2007 (8 years )
Site Gallery is Sheffield's flagship international contemporary art centre. The gallery offers a changing exhibitions programme backed up with regular publications and a comprehensive calendar of conferences, artists talks and events. The gallery focuses on an international programme of newly commissioned work supported by the iLab, (a production facility for still and moving image-making), providing a base for international residencies and supporting artists at the beginning of their career.
As technical director I was involved in all gallery activities, especially the iLab and the development of on-line activities, live art events and off-site projects which furthered the gallery's mission to make opportunities for the production of creative work and to present new work to new audiences. -
