Toggler – Edie Jo Murray
My first digital artworks were all websites, and I’m part of the generation that learned to code from Myspace and Neopets.

Toggler for Schools is an opportunity for young people to participate in an creative coding competition to create a brand new look for our website.
Toggler may make the website illegible but I hope it reminds visitors that the experience of browsing the Internet is more than the four big websites we visit daily.
I kind of daydream about having a World Wide Web that is dominated by artistic experiences instead of for corporate purposes.
I’ve been describing the Toggler project to friends as like having guest ales at a pub. The architecture stays the same but the sensory element changes.
It was interesting to come across problems that aren’t ‘googleable’ since you apply techniques in a way they aren’t made for.
“When you make a public facing website you have to obey certain rules. What happens when those restrictions are removed?”
Toggler is a new website feature allowing commissioned artists to explore, demonstrate and celebrate the potential of creativity in website design.
Our Spring 2019 bulletin includes The Forest is The Museum updates and Owl Project’s forthcoming residency, Toggler, Fermynwoodstock, and more.
