Various projects that range from animations to 3D worlds to a bit of social interaction.

Why Watson? (2007)
Why Watson? was a short intervention between the internet and the 'real' world. Fake identities, flyposting, telephone threats and several baffled bloggers all were the result. The intention was to stir up some response to the ever growing social networks over the internet and the relation they have to our actual lives. Who are 'Friends?' in this day and age?

NEE (2006)
The Narrative Exploration Engine is a modified version of the Quake 3 Arena game, removing all violent elements and leaving the game world intact. The inital idea was to create a multi-user enviroment where the players had to interact with each other to solve simple puzzles. The eventual result was more akin to interactive video. The player was forced to explore stark enviroments whislt revealing a narrative.
The download contained 2 'stories': A Short Story About Falling and It's Root Must Hold the Sky.

Home Movement (2006)
Home Movement was undertaken as part of the site-specific module. I revisited my home village Prestbury and chatted with the locals, researched local myths and spent some time getting reaquainted with the village. The result was an audio performance in which St. Mary's church was filed with sounds, speach and my own music to create a tribute to the village I used to call home.
The work was documented in a DVD and CD set.

The Movement (2005)
The Movement was a short intervention/protest across the centre of cardiff. Waving banners and wearing berets, a militant group of students gave out flowers and Jaffa Cakes to wary civilians. A joyous parade of protest for the sake of protesting.
Also produced were a number of online animations and adverts.

Narcissism (2004)
A Self Portrait over time. Put simply, I took a photo of myself everyday for a good few months, then strung them together to watch myself change.
