Art of The Future

Biomess celebrates the diversity of natural and designed life and challenges our perceptions of its strangeness. In this installation natural history specimens sourced in collaboration with curators are encased within luxury retail display cases alongside a bioreactor used in biotechnology research.

My Self in That Moment is a hybrid performance work for an ensemble of 49 tablets and a solo vocalist, exploring the fragmented and distributed self in the digital age.

The swiftly evolving ability to replicate, deconstruct and distribute a person’s image and voice presents a swathe of possibilities and conundrums. The edges of self are increasingly frayed as our relationship with devices and systems becomes ever more entangled, fragmenting notions of ‘me’ and ‘mine’.

A Galaxy of Suns is a spectacular 32-part choir performance that ‘sings’ the stars as they rise and set over 360˚ of the horizon. Tracking the Earth’s motions through space, the work documents in real-time the audience’s precise position in relation to the stars, sonifying stellar data in a unique celebration of the majesty and beauty of the cosmos.

This work comprises of a light sculpture whose shifting light and sound scape is driven by environmental data collected from significant trees across the world. The work ruminates on the sentience of trees, asking audiences to contemplate their relationship with the landscape.
