Research interests

My research interests are focused on extended reality (XR), through immersive room-based, screen-based, or city-wide mobile media. My work is designed to tell stories about imagined, forgotten, or unremembered others. 

 

I have a transdisciplinary practice which investigates and combines areas of British colonial history, archival data, computer science, digital geographies, and digital humanities.  The focus of the work is on the interplay between spatial memory and physical space in the built environment as an intersectional backdrop to examine contemporary, retro, and historical stories.

 

Methodologies I use in my practice intersect across practical and theoretical frames such as computer vision, human-to-computer interaction, human-to-human looking, and by extension machines that see.

These methods are highly experimental using media which consists in combination of;

 

  • Photographs
  • Moving Image
  • Augmented reality
  • Virtual reality 
  • Data
  • Conversational chatbots
  • Frontend programming (HTML CSS JavaScript React)

Supervisory Interests

I am interested in supporting highly experimental work which matches to an extent, the media used in my practice, in combination, through either screen-based, mobile or physical computing.  I am particularly interested in supporting research in subject areas related to the built environment, XR, data, reanimating, or reimagining archives.
