We became artists in residence for Rural Media to lead a 6 month project developing a new arts network for Herefordshire that would bring artists, developers and Arts organisations together to look at the use of creative technology in contemporary practice. We launched the network (IAN) with a large event (with a lot of help from our friends Mash Cinema) that combined a day conference with a public party in the evening. Called the happening it was a celebration of 1960’s psychedelia combined with the latest 360 cinema, virtual reality, and digital art

Can you effect pedestrians movements by asking them questions on a large signboard?
Which side of the street they walk is their answer.
Some political, some physical, some spiritual, some stupid.

We decided to make a small personal project, unplugged, no technology, nobody else, just us hitting Liverpool high street for one weekend in August 2016.

Combining selfies and emojis, make fun animations for sharing, soon to the app store…

It’s just a piece of art…
You look at it, play with it, share it and keep on walking

For family, friends, colleagues, on a date or going solo.
To remind yourself, we are all basically the same.

installation, Tate Liverpool, July 2014

Inspired by the Mondrian exhibition at Tate Liverpool, we collaborated with the Tate Collective and Costumologists to create an evening take-over of Liverpool’s Tate Gallery, with live bands and interventions. Visitors were given the choice of four coloured tickets, each representing a feeling based on the writings of Mondrian. They then went on a journey, creating costumes with the Costumologists before having their picture taken in four photobooth stations and then being taken on tours that eventually led to our installation on the fourth floor. Here people scanned the bar-code on their ticket and where instantly presented with the image they had taken earlier and then all the images of the other visitors with their colour.

36 x 40-inch screens fed from 36 raspberry pi’s via 0.5 km of Cat5 cable to a master server. A custom webapp for capturing photographs on the first floor and automatically sending them over wifi to the fourth floor.

Interactive artwork and data capture commissioned for Sparks children’s digital festival at Phoenix Arts centre, Leicester
Setup: a fixed iPad in front of the large cafe video wall. Participants can interact actively or passively –

In active mode, visitors use the iPad to select their chosen future career, age and appearance. They will then see themselves immediately reflected as a hand illustrated avatar on the screen which mimics their body movements.
Their avatar will be stored in a database and displayed to subsequent visitors.

In passive mode, any visitor who walks in front
of the screens will be reflected as one of the previously saved avatars. If they jump then their character will change to a different one

music: Chilly Gonzales – White Keys (from SOLO PIANO II)
