  • Installing Bcc: at Vivid Projects part 3

    In this final part of this three-part series I’ll be going over installing Xuan Ye‘s work in the Bcc exhibition. This work posed a similar challenge to Scott Benesiinaabandan’s work. I needed to automatically load a web page except this time I needed to allow for user interaction via the mouse and keyboard. The…

  • Installing Bcc: at Vivid Projects part 2

    The next artwork that was challenging to install was Monuments: Psychic Landscapes by Scott Benesiinaabandan. I won’t be showing the full artwork as all of the artworks were exclusive to Bcc: and it’s up to the artists whether they show it or not. On a visual level the basic premise of the artwork is…

  • Departure from Vivid Projects

    It was recently announced that after four years of leading Black Hole Club and seven years total of working with Vivid Projects (and previously VIVID) I’ve decided to leave to focus on my own artistic and curatorial practices. I’ve really enjoyed curating exhibitions there and working with the Black Hole Club artists to develop…

  • Algorave Birmingham, 3rd December

    On 3rd December I’ll be curating and performing at the Algorave at Vivid Projects. An Algorave is a party where electronic music is generated live from algorithms. The word was coined around 2012, initially as a joke, but has since taken hold with Algoraves taking place in over 40 cities around the world. At…

In this new role I’ll be continuing to organise the activities of Black Hole Club. This year I, with the input of its members, organised and oversaw the development of events including…

  • Black Hole Club at Vivid Projects

    Things on this blog have been rather quiet in recent months. I’ve stopped updating it with absolutely every event or exhibition that I’m somehow involved in – there’s now a dedicated Events page for that. I’ve also been very engaged with delivering workshops (gotta entertain the young ‘uns somehow this Summer!), such as the…

  • Stealth Launch Photos

    Stealth launched at Vivid Projects on 25th June and it was a great success! It’s the first time I have curated an exhibition or event that has lasted more than a few days, so I’m happy to see that there have been a steady flow of visitors. Thanks again to James Bridle, Manu Luksch,…

  • Stealth

    On 25th June I’ll be putting my curator hat back on for my first curatorial duties since my appointment as Associate Producer to present Stealth at Vivid Projects. STEALTH presents recent work by UK and international artists critiquing surveillance culture and the invasive and pervasive technologies that shape our daily interactions. Utilising a variety…

  • Associate Producer at Vivid Projects

    I’m happy to announce that I have recently joined Vivid Projects as their Associate Producer. If you’ve been following my progress as an artist you’ll see that I have worked with VIVID/Vivid Projects in various forms since 2009. In 2009, as a result of the Young People on Arts Boards programme I joined the…
