PLUG FAIR / Through a glass, darkly, 2017 - 2022
performance, collaboration w / A. Berger, site specific
An extended reality promenade. The audience are immersed in an internet-age tale of corrupted site-specific information. Wearing wireless headphones they follow a deadpan guide with a laptop gaffa taped to his head through car parks, housing estates and underground train stations. They are at all times directed by the absent presence of a second performer streamed into view in real-time.
'an intense, slightly worrying and very beautiful experience' - Margot Edström, IAC
Medusa, 2023
video, UHD, looping, ed. 3+2AP
'Medusa is about looking and being turned into stone. Painful reflections, doom scrolling and stuffy rooms. A binge of algorithmic content presented to us in a language designed to absorb us. No solutions are presented, just more content to watch' - JD Howse, Permeable Barrier
Two people frowning at a sausage, 2018
performance, collaboration w / A. Berger, durational
Sirens; back end, 2022 - present
10 x UHD + HD videos looping, 10 salvaged smartphones, 10 salvaged PVC pipes, 10 Poundland selfie sticks
Sirens; back end is a visual representation of my online ethnographic research into the creation of hyper-algorithmic video content. Within the confines of this work audiovisual cries for attention are cradled by the stylised tentacles of an unsustainable data infrastructure.

My review of the Lumix S5, 2023
video, UHD, looping, ed. 3+2AP
My Review of the Lumix S5 is part of an ongoing series of unboxing videos. It functions as a practical examination of the hypothesis that the product review genre inadvertently operates as a site of autobiographical vulnerability. Furthermore, personal recording equipment is presented as an object of fixation and functions as an allegory for the gendered assumptions surrounding the accumilitaition of technical expertise.
If civilisation, 2018
performance, collaboration w / A. Berger, multi-media, 00:49:00
'There were twists around every corner as two men acted out a hellish nightmare sequence of environmentalism and the downfall of civilisation... what I experienced was the opposite of being bored. It was a much-deserved morbid curiosity that I am glad to have witnessed.' - Ed Fringe Review
GROW TWO POINT OW, 2019 - 22
video, UHD + HD, looping, ed. 3+2AP
'GROW TWO POINT OW' is a digital research project. By creating sight-specific interventions I examine the development of online trends and the nature of interlaced virtual communities.
