Play.Orchestra Launch
A Major commission by the Royal Festival Hall and Philharmonia Orchestra, Play.Orchestra was developed by a team from Central Saint Martin's MA Narrative Environments course. My involvement was key from the early stages, researching and developing the idea that was to become the installation that has been recently featured on BBCs Radio 4s Today programme, The Times, Bloomberg, The Telegraph, Radio 5 Live, BBC3, not to mention BBCs Newsround - without sadly, John Craven.

Stratford Circus screen intervention launch
In January 2006 I was asked by Yeast Culture to provide an animated intervention for Stratford Circus, as part of the Arts Centre's re-launch and re-brand.
Over the course of 6 months, the commission developed into an interactive architectural intervention - one that happened to use the large outdoor screen which was integrated into a public square facing facade of the venue. More about the project

Videowalks
...There are several aims of the Videowalks
project, which revolve around the democratisation of public space.
Walk guides or authors have a chance to respond to the landscape
that has been built around them, providing an invaluable resource
for future planning, and the design of the built environment as
a whole. More about the
project

Lecture
on Collaboration in the Arts
I recently gave a lecture to the University
of Plymouth's Media Arts Students about why artists are collaborating
more, and how to collaborate effectively - using some of my own
collaborative experiences as example.
In the lecture, I explained why the digital
paradigm was partly responsible for the shift of attitude toward
collaboration. I used the concept of metaphor to explain how individuals
understand the world in their own way, and how these unique semantic
links can richly contribute to a new combination of ideas within
a collaborative environment.
