EXHIBITIONS / PERFORMANCES
We are currently developing two major new artworks:
(1) SEE ME APPEAR
Developed in collaboration with Abandon Normal Devices
and has received Immersive Arts Funding (Expand). The work, titled ‘See me Appear’
will be a site specific six month installation inside Tatton Mansion,
a National Trust
Site in Chesire East: working with a series of new media, we are staging female fabulations
to highlight that any history presented is a construct.
(2) UNFIXED
Developed in collaboration with MSB2K, Unfixed is a multi-layered interactive artwork
using haptic interfaces and textile technologies to counter streamlined, normative formats of bodying
in digital realms. The work highlights how binary thinking has produced technologies which homogonise,
streamline and diminish agency of those interacting with virtual worlds. It is an exercise to reimagine
how we access and understand digital worlds through embodied and individual inputs.
