PUBLIC ART & TOWN PLANNING CD-ROM
The CD-ROM is a multimedia essay which presents an environmental analysis of an Irish provincial town from the perspective of an artist and a town planner.

The project focuses on 12 specific locations in Longford town. Issues such as architecture, history, function, and future potential are discussed.

The CD-ROM incorporates text, photographs, and audio to present the viewpoints of both the artist and the planner in an interesting, entertaining, and informative manner.

Produced for the Arts Office of Longford County Council, with funding by the Arts Council of Ireland, the goal of the project is to increase awareness of Irish people in their surroundings, the potential in their areas, public art, and town planning issues.

The CD-ROM was distributed to planners, architects, schools, colleges, environmental groups etc around Ireland.
