I am an exhibiting New Media Artist and Lecturer in Digital Media, specialising in mobile, screen-based and real-world immersive Serious Games.
I am Senior Lecturer teaching into in games art, and Module Leader across; Games Art BA (Hons), Design for Digital Media BA (Hons), Animation BA (Hons) Course Leader Animation and Visiting Lecturer Graphic Design MA at the University of Brighton.
Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a Women in Games Ambassador, member of Brighton & Hove Heritage Network, Crossing Cultures Decolonising the Curriculum, and Board member Centre for Digital Media Cultures at the University of Brighton and Lighthouse, an arts charity specialising in connecting art, technology, science and society.
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;
Resilient cities, ESRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) | Seas Brighton | MSL Hastings | Southdown Housing | Photoworks, | The Royal Pavilion & Museums | National Citizens Service | Mosaic Brighton | Black History Brighton.
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.
