Drawings which iteratively explore common simple labyrinth forms; overlaying each to illustrate how one type might be switched or folded into another. This process subjects the delicate ‘coherence’ of the recognisable labyrinth symbols to fragmentation, generating potentially ‘switching’ or momentarily incoherent maze conditions.

Micro-Installation produced for Bompass and Parr in 2010 as part of their exhibition and venue ‘The Complete History of Food’. A ‘bioresponsive jelly’ was made to pulse in time with the observer’s heat-beat, providing an instant and amusing interaction as they ate it. It is suprising what people will willingly push their fingers into.

Here we demonstrate an isovist based approach to definition of the axial lines of a space. The algorithm identifies the primary and secondary longest axial lines of each isovist in real-time. These are used to define a pair of median 2d centric points: Movement towards either of the median points causes following of the general axiality of the space as perceived at that location. Further sets of exploratory movements based on this approach are demonstrated here.

Geometric properties of an isovist provide a measure of the perceived spatiality from a defined ‘point of view’. As such they provide the basis for explorative movement, based on realtime numeric derivation of directional goals. Below we demonstrate three different movement strategies established in this manner. (above) Movement towards the perceived axial centroid of an unexplored space (axial movement). (above) Movement towards the nearest point on a perceived occluded edge of an unexplored space (proximal movement). (above) Movement towards the […]

These were recorded on a week’s sail from Falmouth in Cornwall to Milford Haven, Wales, via the Isles of Scilly, Padstow and Lundy. We were sailing northward about 5 miles off Lundy Island, spinnaker up under a southerly wind and making about 10 knots. A pod of about twenty dolphins came from all around and lined up to play on our bow wave for fifteen minutes or so. Five grown men were reduced to excited little boys. The minute we […]
