  • ENIGMATICA

    ENIGMATICA

    Enigmatica is a work in progress exploring new concepts in combining light, sound and space to create multi-dimensional synesthetic environments. The work experiments with spatial segmentation, illusory oddities and aural expression, freely shifting from order to disconnection and sweeping through the spectrum of colours from softly subtle to [...]

  • MORPHOLOGY

    MORPHOLOGY

    Shape tweens in this work are evenly and geometrically placed. The multiplication of these movements creates a kaleidoscope. When presented with a rhythmic sound, a slightly entrancing out-of-phase yet simultaneously synced effect is created. The work starts of with a semi-tribal element to encourage the notion of having a connection with an earthly mysterious force.

  • DATAFLUX

    DATAFLUX

    DATAFLUX investigates the possibilities of using live software codes to render synesthetic audio and visual experiences. The installation uses a software counting mechanism to step between scenes and sequences. Projections are beamed onto a motorised mirror allowing for wider displacement which is also triggered via the same system. Size and locations for the reshaping white [...]

  • LIFE ON MARS

    LIFE ON MARS

    In the name of developing a work that also makes use of auto-rendered visual sequences, Life on Mars is based around the strange and corrupted ‘ shape tweens’ that can be created when drawing two instances in a timeline and commanding the computer to morph between them.
    The building is ‘pre-mapped’. This template is then used [...]

  • SCRIBBLUMINOUS

    SCRIBBLUMINOUS

    Scribbuluminous is presented as an exploration into using the gallery space as its own canvas. However by juxtaposing the structural forms with an overlay of improvised free-form light it aims to represent the crude beginnings of a hybridised ‘digital yet physical’, ’static yet dynamic’ multi-dimensional environment.
    Further developments will venture much deeper within this conceptual paradox, [...]
