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.

Go Local




               Go Local 2017 — RCA x Hove Park

 ‘Go Local’ is a collaborative project between five Royal College of Art students from MA Visual Communication and MA Global Innovation Design. In response to the migrant crisis, we invited UK secondary school students from marginalised communities to question the meaning of autonomy. Working closely with leaders of EAL (English as an Additional Language), twenty 11- 16-year-old EAL, migrant and students seeking asylum participated in a one-day workshop.
The project outcome highlights 2017 cuts in government funding that provide crucial opportunities for refugee children to better adjust to their new lives within the UK educational system. Through performance, roundtable discussions, and collage, students questioned what it means to have autonomy while navigating an unfamiliar environment.
