The Happenstance project set about trying to change the way arts organisations use technology. It funded six technology residencies at three of the UK’s most vibrant and exciting arts organisations: Site Gallery in Sheffield, Lighthouse in Brighton and Spike Island in Bristol. Its aims were to understand how one-off ‘glanceable’ technological innovations, together with the distinctive processes and cultures of digital technologists, could become embedded into organisational practices of arts organisations and lead to organisational change.
