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.

Here We Are



            Here We Are x Arnott + Kitch 2018 — Royal College of Art Grad Show

 ‘Here We Are’ explores the tensions between humanity and technology, and the intrinsic desire to use the hand as a tool of communication. Cave paintings, which have endured for thousands of years, illuminate the temporal nature of contemporary communication. Through discourse, humanity has transitioned into a society that communicates predominantly through a digital lens.

The work features an interactive table that invites audiences to experience technology as nothing technological. By integrating analogue and digital mediums, 'Here We Are' playfully reveals the fundamental and systematic structures that dominate contemporary society. This project underscores the contrast between enduring, tactile forms of communication and the ephemeral nature of digital interaction.
