Experimental Spatial Capture
Dynamic + Immersive Storytelling




ABOUT

I am an artist, researcher, and senior lecturer in transmedia storytelling. I have experience in public-facing live projects and facilitation of practice research within cultural spaces, working with stakeholders, arts councils, and local communities.

My practice explores transmedia storytelling as an emerging practice within heritage, visual communication, and interaction design disciplines. My interests centre on the interstices between computation, instrumentality, and human experience.
The application of remote sensing techniques fosters a relationship with virtual environments that embrace indeterminacy over exact representation. Instead, they are investigated as spatial-critical mediums that reveal hidden narratives and reconstruct collective memory.

         D&AD x Sightsavers Installation 2018 — Design and Art Direction Festival, The Old Truman Brewery, London

 Collaboration with Abi Daker and Sightsavers. Sightsavers is an international non-governmental organisation that works with partners in developing countries to treat and prevent avoidable blindness and promote equality for people with visual impairments and other disabilities.

The installation was developed as part of D&AD at The Old Truman Brewery, Shoreditch. Inside the space audiences are immersed in RGB light projections that interact with large-format illustrations. When the light changes colour a new story is revealed. Through dynamic storytelling audiences are invited to experience visual impairment in developing countries. The work is accompanied by oral histories of the lived experiences of communities in a Bangladeshi hospital, a village in Nigeria, and a classroom in Senegal.
