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.

Sublime Temporality




          Sublime Temporality 2017 — Queen’s Park, Preston Park, Modena Road, Brighton. Cliffs and Beach, Rottingdean

‘Sublime Temporality’ augments urban landscapes in East Sussex, England at night. Streets, parks, and beaches are considered communal spaces by day but are deemed antisocial and unwelcoming environments by night.

Through the projection of moving images onto natural and manmade structures, these spaces undergo a temporary metamorphosis into a realm of temporal sublime. This transformation offers passersby a break from the expected, a sense of wonder and a desire to linger longer. The project disrupts the cultural inclination to capture environments through a technological lens, opting to capture technological intervention within the environment itself through performance and documentation.
