A series of video works-in-progress as part of a residency at Lanternhouse, Ulverston from September 9 - 19, 2009.

Public artwork that automatically generated films using “cinematic moments” captured from custom built cameras distributed throughout a city.

Four computers search the Internet for meaning, via email accounts set up to attract large quantities of spam.

9 galleries were networked together, each monitored via sensors. Any changes in one gallery would lead the other eight to adapt their environment to match, using a variety of environmental actuators.

A telephone call centre, installed inside the Storey Institute, Lancaster UK. The system autonomously adapts itself to human activities inside the building.

Two galleries were networked together: one containing four robots, one containing live video links to the robots’ onboard cameras, and an interface to control them. Viewers could take control of a robot and try to affect their social environment.

An installation that asked visitors to send it a cellphone text message. Every 10 minutes the messages were redistributed around the network of people connected to it, activating a shared virtual space occupied by everyone who had ever interacted with it.

Using autonomous self-organizing software processes, the installation took full control of a building’s electricity system.
