Bloom: 2017 Commissioned by Open Culture for Light Night at St Georges Hall

Afloat Inland: 2016. Commissioned by Open Culture for Light Night at Victoria Gallery & Museum, Liverpool.
Afloat, Inland was an immersive installation-performance, incorporating generative interactive graphics controlled by live musical performance and binaural environmental sound recordings.
Transforming the VG&M’s historic Leggate Theatre into a multi-channel film and sound environment, the audience lounged on bean bags in the semi-circular central space, surrounded by a huge 30 metre cinerama-style screen suspended from the upper gallery. Musicians performed from behind the audience, allowing them to share the audience's view of the projections and follow visual cues.
What I Leave Behind I Bring With Me: 2016. Interactive film installation for Skammdegi Winter Arts Festival 2016.
Friend or Foe were Artists in Residence for three months in Ólafsfjörður, a remote town on the northern coast of Iceland, to develop a series of experimental immersive audio-visual live performances and interactive installations reflecting the environmental changes inflicted upon the open landscape, the local wildlife and isolated community during the long winter. The fluctuating light and colours due to short days, the movement of clouds and birds, the visibility of astronomical and lunar activity during the long, dark nights and the affects of winter darkness on people their moods, sleep patterns and dreams.
‘What I Leave Behind I Bring With Me’ is an interactive installation incorporating film, binaural environmental sound recordings, and subtle musical themes inspired by the environment, local customs, history and stories.
Custom electronics and found objects were used to create an interface allowing audience participants to reconstruct layers of time and duration, shifting patterns and focus of visual and audio elements, while generative graphics fracture and shatter the image, emulating the flowing motion of the wind, moving in reaction to sound and colour.
