Creative Production & Project Management

I produce innovative experiences that blend creativity with technology. My focus is not just on showcasing work but also fostering new commissions and collaborations.

Closed Hands, Passenger Games

I had the pleasure of working as the producer for the development and exhibition of Closed Hands, an experimental digital gaming work by Passenger Games (Dan Hett).

The work guides the user to explore the stories of a myriad of characters who have been impacted by a terror attack. It was launched as a digital exhibition as a part of PUSH Festival with HOME Manchester, shown as a part of the Leftfield Collection at EGX and available on the Steam store. The exhibition of the work at HOME also featured an engagement programme of game development workshops and talks.

“Truly visceral… It’s a piece of work that asks us to empathise with the whole world, to feel every human cost and cause of seemingly incomprehensible tragedy.” – Exeunt

EVERY THING EVERY TIME, Naho Matsuda

In Manchester, I produced Naho Matsuda's artwork EVERY THING EVERY TIME for FutureEverything and CityVerve. This project created poems from city interaction data, displayed in various locations like libraries and gardens, raising questions about data's role and value in our lives.

In Newcastle, the second iteration of Matsuda’s work featured in the Great Exhibition of the North. This version interacted with city data from the Urban Observatory and city buildings, generating real-time anonymous poems about citizen interactions, showcased on a mechanical display outside Newcastle's Theatre Royal.

N18: The Great Exhibition of the North

In response to The Great Exhibition of the North, 19 aspiring and emerging artists from across the North joined a ten-week programme to learn new skills, collaborate, and creatively respond using digital technology. I worked as the producer for the programme members resulting commissions, including works by Manoli Moriaty, Ruth Mary Johnson and Sophie Ashcroft.

Signals Of Tomorrow Showcase: ArtScience Museum, Singapore

Singapore citizens were invited to a five day workshop to collaborate with leading designers to share ideas, affect policy, co-design prototypes, and create artistic responses to issues surrounding a ‘Smart Nation’. The final prototypes were exhibited at a special exhibition at the ArtScience Museum. As the exhibition producer, I worked with the designers, participants, and the venue to develop the exhibition and its engagement material.

Designers included Sam Hill & Ben Barker (PAN Studios), Daniel Hirschmann (Technology Will Save Us), Matthew Rosier (Playable Cities 2014 Award-Winning Interactive Experience Designer), Andreas Schlegel (LASALLE Arts), Debbie Ding (Designer, Singapore Psychogeographical Society), Natalie Kane (V&A, Haunted Machines), Assemble (Turner Prize nominated architect collective.)

The exhibition was a part of The Festival of Tech for FutureEverything Singapore.

Memo Akten, Simple Harmonic Motion for 16 Percussionists

I was the assistant producer on a live performance by digital artist Memo Akten featuring 16 percussionists. A powerful sound and light performance, an amplified and deconstructed interpretation of the simple, multilayered rhythmic patterns that form its source. It is inspired by natural and mathematical phenomena, as well as works by the likes of Norman Mclaren, John Whitney, Steve Reich and Gyorgi Ligeti. The performance was a part of FutureEverything Manchester.

Faultlines, FutureEverything

I was the executive producer and cohort manager for Faultlines, a talent development and commissioning programme for art in technology innovation. The programmes vision was to support artists to develop art practice in technology innovation, and to create new opportunities in how artists work and where and who art is commissioned by. I came into the role in the programmes second year, developing a bespoke development programme for each of the artists and leveraging commissions and opportunities with partners such as CityVerve, STARTS European Commission and SHIFT Cheshire east. Artists included  Kasia Molga, Dan Hett, Ling Tan, Helen Knowles, Naho Matsuda, Chomko & Rosier, Peter J Evans.
