I work in installation, film, performance, music, physical computing, virtual and augmented reality, animation, and games. I am interested in the connections between spaces and texts, especially in interactive media, and the role of human creativity in an increasingly technologized world. My practice often draws on games and cinema as well as contemporary art.

As a multidisciplinary artist/designer/maker, I have developed and presented digital artworks, technology demonstrations and workshops at conferences, festivals and exhibitions in the UK, Europe, USA, South America, South Africa, and Asia.

My professional practice over the last 25 years has included making work for exhibition, leading participatory art projects and creating digital visualisations for other artists, including Liliane Lijn, Wolfgang Weileder and Cecilia Stenbom. Between 2007 and 2015 I also worked as a researcher at the arts and technology research institute Culture Lab, where I contributed my skills and perspectives as an artist to Design Research projects. I continue to work in academia, developing projects with Universities, museums and galleries and as a freelance animator and designer.

I am currently working with game engine technologies, developing procedural ‘films’ in which content, cinematography and narrative are determined by interactive systems in real time. I am also developing works in which I am applying photogrammetry techniques to the traditional discipline of life-drawing. I am interested in the uncanny quality of the resulting images but also how the glitches and errors occurring in the process equate to the imprecision of traditional, manual drawing techniques.
